Gershon Wolf Poet Light Verse

My Rhyming's Inane

Ho-hum, another poem
  Need a rhyme -- Carpe diem
Some ask why...tra-la-la
  Ordered pizza cooked by Lisa  

I was a poet, but then I blew it
  Cursed my editor; it didn't matter
'Cos now I'm a rich, son-of-a-beach
  I got me a gig in the major leagues

I heard a rumor that life's a bummer
  And that marathoners have no sense of humor
My ox, a horse gored; I was super-scared
  But I turned the horse into horse-radish sauce

Non-sequiturs? -- Who the hell cares?
  Smokey the Bear put out a fire here...
My rhyming's inane, you've doubtless opined
  This objective in mind, to reach readers unseen

Kurt Ravidas May 22, 2019 at 9:40 AM You've almost reached me unseen, Wolf. All I need is a bear 4 smokey. I'd ask you for sending me some, but, I'm affraid, the custom won't let such bears through) Yes, this is Russia, son-of-the-teacher. We smoke bears. Gershon Wolf May 22, 2019 at 3:11 PM All I can remember is that Americans found it hard to 'bear' Nikita Kruschev, Anatoly Dobrynin, Kosygin, Brezhnev, et al. LOL. Russia's the 'Bear.' The Republicans are the 'Elephant.' The Democrats are the 'Donkey.' … Phooey - Chop-suey. :) gw
