Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Who has the Fleas

       Who dictates what is cool
           He who drops out of school?

        Who sets the tone for what is hip
            He who gives the fuzz the slip?

         Who decides what is in
             The fellow with the cheshire-cat grin?

          Who gets to define success
              He who is given to excess?

           Who is a veritable magnet for sex
              He who stands for hours erect?

           Who writes cutting-edge couplets like these
              My dogwood, but he has the fleas

Pascal Borg August 24, 2026 at 2:34 PM Never mind about the fleas, fact is Gershon, you are a tease and extremely funny. Gershon Wolf August 24, 2026 at 7:41 PM Well, I think you've pegged me pretty well there, Pascal. ... The fact is, you are very insightful. :) gw

'dogwood' is great, the whole bitty witty smithy write was fun. If you find out all about WHO please get their address, I have issues with many of WHO's decisions. Gershon Wolf August 24, 2026 at 7:39 PM WHO is a mystery to me too. At first, I thought it might stand for World Health Organization. Ha - ha. Guess not. ~ Misty Phied
