How about Carol wears the curtain rods?
That would be hysterical.
No one else got it.
But I am Harvey Korman and I have some say.

Most popular episode in history.
Even Vicky is not as popular unless she is mama.
Vicky as Carol's mama is hilarious.
This show gets better every...

Thinking Aloud
By: Tom Wright
1970

As a young man,
before Christ came into my life,
I had traveled to many states,
But the state that I spent the most time in,
was the state of confusion.

In our inner world of the existential
a heightened awareness in close proximity
with distant dreams.Impulsive moods
once suppressed in the domain of the
denied, embodied now in spoken tracts

Are you listening? Open your ears
For this is to be read aloud it needs your voice 
Because it can not speak on its own...
This is a poem that I'll call a slam

Wailing thunder
 Growling sound
Clutch the earth
As you rumble aloud
ROAR!

Upon the earth
Beyond its clouds
Your frigid hands
Raucously plow
ROAR! 

Striking seas
You rampantly avow
Assailing its waves
You beset, you plough
ROAR!

Dreadful thunder
We berate to you now
With more potency
Our voices shalt make you pow
ROAR!...

Soul stripped.

Flesh ripped. 

Hope lost.

Time moves on not heeding the cost.

Hurt buried aside in the ditch.

Anger flares like a flip of the switch.

Fist tenses,
Wrenching blood from within.
Fingers pawing at the line of life,
White with streaks of red pressed flesh.
Ghost pepper strongly inhaled,
Nose like a waterfall...

A sonnet, anecdote,or verse
read by you, 
each page of memory followed
with deep hues,
recited in a beautiful tone
I stumble,
the visions stirring on my mind
as you drawl....

Why Poetry Must be Read Aloud

The poet caresses the purity of the
blank white page, seduces it, whispers
to it, teases and cajoles, coaxing
from the emptiness a depth of
solace, the fullness of a lover’s smile.

His words are mined, milled, and
shaped by the hammer and anvil of
his heart....

No matter who,

No matter where,

No matter when,

It only matters why and what for.

Yesterday was early,

Tomorrow will be late,

Today I have no time.

You can’t train in a gym?

 You want to look young and slim?

Stay close to the old ones and fat.

From lips of thine I would review
The poems you've written, oral true.
Each breath, each sound, that carries words,
When rhymed together betters birds.

The high perfect' of human speech
I will detect, my ears will reach,
And with the soul of thought for guide
I'll hear YOUR soul and vibe...
