Yesterday, May 27, Sir Henry Kissinger turned one-hundred
    It's now been forty-six years since he held public office

Mused the owl roosting on a pine tree shoot,



   "My colleagues think I'm not very astute,



       But I wisely perch in pines,

Vermillion wonderful; extravagant
Young Zenobia...

N is for nervousness
Excessive uneasiness;
Horror in an astute mind
Panic at a highest level
Engulfing in terror
Terrifying his readers
Stephen King a master of Gore.

Gyrating inside his mind

The jester has a foolish air;
he leaps about and juggles fruit.

He gathers secrets which he tells
to no one but the reigning king....
