Jeff Connelly Poet I do not know?

Rock a Fella

the meaningless
sing of the song
"I am the Walrus"
makes me hungry
to selfishly eat my
fill of shellfish i see

but with a bib i'd be
the walrus not Paul
and if eating when
ever any are at hand
then the carpenter i'd
be so with no motive

i see no relegiosity to
attempt to interpret
what tweedledee
and tweedledumb
said in form in front
of alice so alas i may

have a cup of tea
with a dozen clams
with out a chance of
ever finding a pearl in
any of these but it's you
who are Venus on a half

shell and
i can tell
by sight
you'd be
quite a
tasty

treat

Ann Foster November 20, 2019 at 11:43 AM This was fun. great write. Ann Jeff Connelly November 20, 2019 at 12:08 PM ...as the song is fading out you can hear someone speaking. The dialogue is from Shakespeare's, or Francis Bacon's, "King Lear". Jeff Connelly November 20, 2019 at 12:06 PM Thank you Ann. I love writing whimsies. Lewis Carroll, and the Beatles (a reference made way back in their song "Paperback Writer") where, I'm sure it was Lennon through in the name "Lear", Edward that is; plus, though Lennon admitted the meaningless lyrics of "Walrus", it is interesting at the end...
