Blue sky every day
In sunny Los Angeles,
An endless summer....

On Saturday, the L A Rams
Encountered the Monterey Clams
With no and, if, or but
It was open and shut
The Sopranos limped home like lambs!...

Grimy sweaty dusk,

                                            Steaming torrid lune....

The Brooklyn boys went to LA.
In Ebbett’s Field, they did not stay.
They play in the sun.

Los Angeles loves Dodger blue.
The team is a contender true.
They are number one.

HAPPY   OLD   MAN


Happy old man
Alone  watching television
No cards no phone calls
Tin of beans for dinner
Son in Los Angeles
Daughter in London
They must have been 
Too busy to call
He understands
He loves  them
For they are his children 
Happy old man...

The Mayor of Los Angeles, what a mensch!
Helping the homeless in LA, buy placing 
art murals right next to their tents.

Are they to cook them for breakfast,lunch 
or dinner, perchance?

Proof that some politicians are morons
and obnoxiously, dense!

Where's the smog
   And the pollution
Only noise, the frogs
   No gangland executions

Millions of stars in the sky
   Nights crisp, fresh and cool
I can feel the wind sigh
   Nature -- not man -- rules

Lack of excitement or buzz?
   -- Doesn't bother me
I've fled Los Angeles
   For God's country...

Phil studied Carollogy in the University of Sol
                         Carol studied Phillology in Los Angeles Super Mall
                                       They exchanged their notes
                                      Uttered Shakespeare's quotes
               Until they got married in New York's down town community hall...

Stillness of Mind and Mouth

Josh in Little Rock, talking. 
Micah in Oklahoma City, talking. 
James in Lake Charles, talking. 
Ailcia in Atlanta, talking. 
Jennifer in NYC, talking. 
Bonnie in Los Angeles, talking. 
Li Wei in Shanghai, talking. 
Christiane in Brussels, talking.
Owe ve, in quiet and stillness 
answers are often found....

Another gunman opened fire and went wild.
Among his four deceased victims was a child.
It all happened in Orange, California, near Los Angeles.
Many people are outraged because of this.
Why have there been numerous shootings like these?
I'm afraid in the near future, there will be more fatalities.

St. John gave its pupils arithmetic
I glided through these 
Like breeze of Belize

Los Angeles City College leveled me
Algebra had me on my knees

YET

I clamored to Cal. State, Long Beach,
Where Information Science sacked me

I fought back on campus lush lawns
Lingered crossed-leg in summer sun

WON

My grade was not an F
I graduated and felt blessed.

Working with the
great man, 
larger than life,
could be like living
in Los Angeles;
you might have 
a nice house
on a quiet street
with good neighbors,
but you knew
at any time, 
there could be a
drive-by shooting.


[Dedicated to my former boss, Dr. Matthew Bruccoli, leading expert on F. Scott Fitzgerald and several other authors of his age, who helped found the Dictionary of Literary Biography.]...

Hover cars.
Who needs them?
Los Angeles.
Maybe if they had them, the gangs would stop fighting.

Hover cars.
Have they been invented yet?
I am sure they have.
Let's get them out onto the highways, and stop the road rage.

Hover cars.
Built for congested freeways.
For people who spend four hours a day in their cars.
Pretending to like something on the radio.
How can we get them to Los Angeles? Fast!...
