Best Patsy Poems

It may have been the devil himself who prompted the kids in my schoolyard back in 1947 to chant "Patsy Foley's roly-poly from eating too much ravioli."

At first, no one could remember who started the chant. Patsy, a sweet and ample child, was in the...

-In 2008, a massive recall of peanuts thought to be contaminated with bacteria occured. Not 
very many people became ill, and only twenty percent of those that did were hospitalized.

You've been tricked
     and you don't even know it

She became known as Patsy and we became amazed

Since she was young she wowed the folks with her distinctive voice
It seems that she was born to sing,she didn't have a choice

When she went walking after midnight...

Standing at the edge
Fear~pain~or fun~fear~pain
Big brown fearful eyes
Begging help me...

So I help her down onto the floor
Picking up her chew stick
Comes to me again

Now she's in her comfort zone
Chewing away on her bone
Sitting next...

 Tim Horton, Tim Janis
Kofi Annan, In a scaffold that knots a shoeless
You are mincing me on a cutting board, these days
In pounds per pounding heart , with knives and bleesed hone
You were a father's lump and a mother's grace
And slowly in your ladder you...

Memories
of Formica
kitchens
And 2-burner
Hotpoint 
stoves
Lipstick on
a menthol
butt
Costume
pearls
in rows
Perfume
from the
five and dime
Drive In’s
on the 
field
A promise
made
a promise kept
And 
love
— that time can’t steal
