Short Cornelius Poems

Here lies Cornelius Nash
He died amid the Wall Street Crash
No longer being a millionaire 
He stepped off the tower, into thin air...

Herein lies Cornelius Gus Huss 
Who wanted more muscles and then plus 
Til one day he had more of his "juice". 
It killed him when he combined it with booze!

Hortense and Gertrude
   Priscilla, Imogene
Once-popular names
   no more to be seen

Isadore, Cornelius
  Cyrus and Mortimer
Back in the day such
  names courted her

You never know though
  when a name may return
Such as Ambrose, Edsel
   Penelope or Fern...

Art and mind are once again
Silent then. a quiet name
Comes.

Golden chickpea dance in fields
Knowing strokes of paint do yield
Genius genus genie genes in us.
Electric Text in the core of this

Duenos lingua Cornelius.

Cornelius McGillicuddy
     Conservative fuddy-duddy

        Though he shortened his name to Connie Mack
        Neither smoked, drank ~ or cut players any slack

I long to walk with you along the sea,
Just you, our son, and me,
As cornelius runs along the sand,
I could kiss and hug you and hold your hand,
I really miss the small things oh so much,
But most of all i miss your loving touch,
But one day soon we will be together,
And my only loves it will be forever,
And even though we are kept apart,
You know my loves your in my heart...

(in Memory of Don Cornelius)

Why did he-himself in the head
come to blow
After he had it "on the lock",
where did it go
When did this situation on him
take its toll
How could he, his whole LIFE
away, up and throw
When he with keeping it All
together was "on a roll"
This wasn't the Don Cornelius,
We all love and know
For what's it's worth, I wish him
LOVE PEACE and SOUL!!!
(We Miss You Don, RIP)...

Cornelius was a linguist, not a poet -
though his ego was much too large to know it.
After penning a traditional Japanese tanka,
regarding the policies of la casa blanca,
he realized his multicultural poetry - though raw
in meter and message - lacked a certain je ne sais quoi.



Inspired by the writings of our own Maurice Rigoler

*la casa blanca = the white house
*je ne sais quoi = a quality that cannot be named easily....
