Gershon Wolf Poet Light Verse

Avant-Garde Home

Your avant-garde home fills a crucial niche
   ensures the perpetuation of outrageous kitsch

The painting on the wall entitled 'Insemination'
   keeps this admirer on the brink of regurgitation

That chlorophyll-fish oil drink your butler foisted on me
   helps me every fifteen minutes or so to pee

As for your 'petrified out-of-water deep sea plants'
   Don't look now; they're on fire with carpenter ants

Then there's your 'mahvelous' retro pet rock collection
   pinched, no doubt, from the local House of Corrections

I must confess that your house is, indeed, quite impressive
   ~ considering that your compulsions are beyond obsessive
