What Makes Me Act Uncool

Though I don’t get upset when at school,
and in accidents I remain cool,
be it anything dire,
like a storm or a fire,
there’s not often I act like a fool. . . . 

When recording the shows I adore
and the last episode I wait for
becomes lost or destroyed,
I’m more than annoyed.
Like a crazy gorilla, I roar!


(Still kicking myself for losing the final
episode of "Damages,"season 2, on FX!)

For Susan Burch's
Overreactions and Drama Queens Poetry Contest

I like this poem - especially the metaphor of the gorilla. Are you in education? I am and ESL writing assistant at The Borough of Manhattan Community College. I recently sent away for a collection of Flash Gordon DVD's. Do you know that character? Peace & Love Matthew Anish

A boob tuber, eh? Me too. Ah, but you are the most cool mamma. No, there should be a comma - YOU are the most, cool mamma. I am going to call my carrier and find out if, somehow, you have been denied on my e-mails. I had some computer problem not so long ago, and the rep had me do a bunch of deletions. Possibly you were one without me knowing it. Love, daver

I'm pissed that I missed when they kissed. The time I invested in their trist. The bathroom was calling after a half hour of stahling. A love story, I just can't resist. The rhyme at the time just seemed so sublime. I'm sorry if it seems kinda crass. Done.

I can relate, Andrea. About twelve years ago, Sci-Fi channel was running Dark Shadows reruns. I loved this show as a child. I insisted he tape the episodes for me since I had to work. Heaven help him if he forgot! Best wishes in the contest. Kim
