Grossialdo

in memory of my great friend Rudi Rubberoid Grossialdo! Grossialdo! Rip the face off Uncle Waldo! Scare that fellow once too often! Nail 'im in a wooden coffin! Plant 'im nicely six feet under! Leave 'im there and let 'im wonder! Dig 'im up when heartbeat ceases! Cook 'im for his giggly nieces!— Yuk! Old Waldo's brain is oozy! I can't look! It makes me whoozy! Ship the corpse to Colorado! To his mother! GROSSIALDO! . [This poem first appeared in a mail artist magazine edited by Rudi Rubberoid, Nomo the Zine Spring 1994. It was collected in my volume Daisy Zoo and Other Punk-ass Nonsense.]
