Gershon Wolf Poet Narrative

Mad Marvin

Paisley bow-tie
  orange socks
polka-dot knickers
  suspenders dangling

Crazy Marvin's
  testing 'wonder-drugs'
to get his bank
  account jangling

Clouds of smoke
  puffs of steam
strange whistles
  bells jangling

Delirious, dizzy
  all in a tizzy
Marvin's predictably
  mangling

A formula for
  the tutti-frutti, raspberry
bubble-gum serum
  he's angling

To shove down
  my throat ~
Help me!
  I'm strangling

Alexis Y. November 17, 2020 at 9:53 AM Lol!Gershon, Sound like he needs to put in the looney bin before he gives the wonder drug to the wrong person! I enjoyed the read:-) Alexis Gershon Wolf November 17, 2020 at 3:25 PM Don't worry too much, Alexis. Marvin's kept on a leash down there in his basement chamber. lol. I never should have ventured down there to take a peek. Silly me... Sweetness and Light, Gershon

Evelyn Judy Buehler November 16, 2020 at 9:02 PM I'd have run when I saw how he was dressed. Hilarious! Best wishes, Evelyn Gershon Wolf November 17, 2020 at 3:16 PM Haha. I guess paisley's not in this year, is it?! ~ Marvelous Marv
