Her 'Sleeping Girl' is so typique
as sensuality she did seek...

Who ignored the "straight and narrow"
No pure white dove
She sang for love
Just as wild as Cupid's arrow...

"Archie" was his wife's favorite phrase 
He was set on not changing his ways 
He was hard to agree with 
Especially with Edith 
When she sang out loud "Those were the days"...

Edith Lived here 

Black & white photo
A house where
Edith Piaf lived
Casting a long shadow
On a summer street.
Blank windows
The house is unpainted
As always
Edith has gone
Her voice lives on 
She had no regrets....

Archie Bunker
A good ol' boy,
Opinionated and moody,
He tended to be broody.

Edith Bunker
Was Archie's wife.
With a cheerful outlook she fought his strife.
The one bright spot in Archie's life.

When Teddy Roosevelt married he built a 14 bedroom “cottage”
Describing it as such as he and his wife Edith foxtrotted
Must be really quite nice
Surely a roll of the dice
Being born into a wealthy family allows one to flaunt it...

Archie Bunker made Edith a saint
His attitude made most people faint
His words often cruel
He acted like a fool
But She still loved him with no complaints

Eight Nuns Running


Eight nuns running down a path far below
Ethel, Edith, Ellen, Barb each in deep snow
From the way they all look might be putting
up a gong show, till they all fall down
while they're all wearing frilly long gowns.

Nobody sat in Archie Bunker's chair

   From which he bloviated with a flair!

      He drove Meat Head up the wall,

         With unmitigated gall!

            Hapless Edith umpired to clear the air!

Raping the sky of its luster,
a new darkness began to imbue

Draining the ocean—taking its salt,
a pillar for Edith renewed

Shearing the top off the mountain,
its crater to hemorrhage and bleed

Stealing the promise from every hope
all faith left to weather—unfreed

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2020)...

Deep in the basement of the east wing
Lady Penelope keeps a Thing
    With big teeth and claws
    And horrible jaws
And feeds it her husband’s old flings.

While sister Edith keeps under covers
A creature that crawls and gibbers and mutters,
    That’s disgusting and spiny,
    Appalling and slimy,
And feeds it her old boyfriends and lovers....

Short Verse On Stupidity
By: Tom
3/17/2020

“Stupidity won’t kill you but it can make you sweat,”
stupid things in our past are unchangeable of course.
Looking hinder at our lives oft bring thoughts of regret,
over rueful matters hiding there we've no recourse.



“I am patient with stupidity,
but not with those who are proud of it.” 
Edith Sitwell

Archie Bunker
World War II veteran and blue-collar worker
Anticatholic, racist, sarcastic twisted sense of humor
Edith his submissive wife never anger or ranter

Edith Bunker
Naive wife about life and a chatty wonder
Archie would tell her, Would you stifle yourself, it drove him insane
Loves her husband all the same

BRIDGES

There are those problematically  structured:
Garth Brooks had burning bridges “one by one”,
London’s was always falling down, ruptured,
Paul Simon over troubled water would “lay him down”.

But there are also excellent bridges in no peril:
Like those of  Madison County
Peopled tenderly by Eastwood Clint and Streep  Meryl,
And those in Paris under which the bounty 

Of Edith Piaf would make your dreams come true....

Thankfully this difficult year has ended and we hopefully can have a 
wonderful and rewarding 2018
I have not been reading many of your poems and that is not my intent time just seems to fly by  Must be old age  
I hope to read a lot of the great things you are all writing in this coming year 
and maybe get back in to do a little writing myself 
May everyone have a wonderful evening and a fabulous 2018
God Bless you all 
Edith...

Edith was a saint in every sense of the word.
Things she endured today would be considered absurd.
Edith was a homemaker who stood by her man so near.
She tried to make Archie happy and keep him with a beer.

Archie was an old school, hard working type of man.
He didn't take to change and few people he could stand.
Archie was abrasive as sandpaper, Edith gentle as a dove.
Archie was a bigot that only a naive dingbat could've loved.
