ARRESTED NATHAN AND ALAN---

Nathan never praises
Because of bad feelings
Just jumps in/out of jail
Arrested along with Alan
And both brazen bad guys

Premium Member Clerihew Alan Watts

Minister in England, professor of philosophy, Alan Watts
elusive and mystical storyteller connected all ephemeral dots
Pre-eminent interpreter of Eastern thought and religion
Yells “exactly!” as I dose off, awaking me, irks just a smidgen

Druid Heights: Homage to Alan Watts

A telephone rings
At Druid Heights.

Nobody is home.

“If you already get this message, 
‘Ego in a bag of skin,’
Hang up the phone.
For all others ‘tis the wrong number.”

The person at the other end of the line
Talking to their boss:

“Bag, ego, skin
Are ONE
or many…
whatever!”

Premium Member Cowboy Alan

One day to a big ranch rode Alan
a wearin’ his hat, a ten-gallon.
With his horse and his rope
he had plenty of hope
he’d excel in the job of corralin’.

A Note To Alan Trotiner

I understand, if not for you, I would not know the sad news,
I know you are a brilliant person, working at a young age,
In sales in Flea Markets, and such,
I just want to let you know,
Your brother was proud of you,
And of that you should never doubt...
Please keep in touch with me,
[email protected]...
You now carry the Trotiner mantel,
A legacy I know you are worthy of...

and Thank You, Tom Bell

Hitler : Alan Watts' Opinion

I
There was a time, when we sought comprehension
These days, power and media aim for control, commercialization

II
Alan Watts, once a native Anglican, became American Episcopalian
Left the ministry to teach Eastern philosophy, holistic education

III
Alan has left planet Earth (1970s), is beyond thought police, "mistake" -
Said, "One ought to get angry with someone like Hitler. But he's as natural as an earthquake."

Alan W Watts: Rip Great Lapsed Pastor

I
Alan Watts says we live forever
In children if we can bear
There is no joy in going on, ever
And ever as a dying tree or flower

II
He was a brilliant Brit, knew nirvana!
Died as American, in California
Barely making 59 years, once pastor
Presbyterian in Pennsylvania

III
I need to research why he quit
He was undoubtedly good at it
For faithfulness few scholars matched
His authenticity, universality. Unmatched

Could you withdraw

But hope your wizardry
No sham
