Short Interviewed Poems

A child was interviewed on breakfast radio in England,
The interviewer asked what she thought of the world,
He said,'simple I'm perfect and the world is imperfect.'...

Me. 

On back porch, I jostled 
Against time.

I saw 
Night 
Overcame day,

Intriguing 
The footsteps
Of my 
Barren sigh; and

As I met
Midway 
My sleep,
The phone 
Buzzed; someone interviewed my heart....

Searching the country, the inspectors interviewed
     every single inhabitant, from lithe ballerinas to lumbering dudes ...

  Out of myriad possibilities, they found only two
     on whom everyone agreed ~ THEY would never do!...

Fortitude and Vicissitude

What we will need is the fortitude
So we can withstand each vicissitude
In life and be able to survive
Also as well as remain alive
By a reporter will be interviewed.

Left Monterey on Saturday.
Arrived in Paris early Sunday.
Driven to the Somme Cemetery Monday.
Job-interviewed and lunched on Tuesday.
Flew back home via L.A. Wednesday.
Recovered on Thursday.
Back to work on Friday.
Disappointed on Saturday.
Didn't get the job, but spent three nights in Paris at government expense.
C'est la vie....

Dalai Lama 


Dalai Lama, the Buddhist monk
giggles a lot
when interviewed on TV
he sounded like Readers Digest
platitude upon platitude
between giggles.
He walked a lot wore solid boots.
In the background, a Tom & Jerry show 
with the sound turned off.
The impression was that of a village idiot.
Why does the Chinese bother with him?...

Limerick: Once an Anchor Woman at Sea Anne-Anne

Once an Anchor Woman at Sea Anne-Anne
Interviewed OFPRA* doing Can-Can
She said: Will you?
OF said: You, too!
And they rowed off in a rude bed-pan.

They interviewed the artist 
inside of her large blueprint mansion.
At one point she criticized America 
for being overtly materialistic.
Her painting studio alone, was large enough to
house half a dozen desperados...
but instead, it harbored dozens of giant unsold paintings.
I was amazed by how bright a person could be
but at the same time completely blind to their own 
devastating hypocrisy.

Politicians laud praise and beam
About our heroes’ gift extreme
Oh-so-young they died!! 
But the dream they’ve denied
Is no more war as this day's theme    


Author's Note: I heard a lot of homage, but nothing that makes me believe that the significance of the sacrifice is understood by our leaders and many former soldiers who were interviewed.  There is little hope for us if we haven't learned by now....

Lotsir B. Redlion and Vevor Gould's
Pultez Vittez Vaulter manager.
Was interviewed by " One Hot Number"
Kazu Steinway.
They used the Peavey Soundstage
With an audience. During the
Interview, the masked Lorsir
Said so ment, cantar! Targus,
Targus! And everyone laughed, 
So the interview frowned not
Knowing the joke.
Then off airmen Bushier said
The bacon in the jam better be
Turkey cause it looked raw
To him!...

Well wannabe coat fans, you'll be sad to hear I've not been interviewed by a single newspaper (not got a clue what I'm talking about? - join the line)

Although a man I didn't know in the lift and I hadn't glanced at said "if this was a first date, it's gone terribly" and I said "it would make terrible television" then he said "yep, wouldn't make the cut" and he went on his way down a different corridor.

I have successfully eliminated twenty-seven jobs.
Jobs I interviewed for maybe more than one time.
Jobs I wrote essays to procure.
Jobs that paid me well.
Almost too well.

I successfully eliminated some of them before noon the first day.
We haven’t even filed your W-2 paperwork yet, the boss says.
The boss is usually stunned.
Not understanding.
I spend my life successfully eliminating things I do not want
in order to find my joy....

Sister Jean, a national treasure
    burst on the scene five years ago
  her Loyola Ramblers took the NCAAs by storm
    and Sister Jean's quiet life was transformed 

  Now it's five years later
    Loyola's going nowhere fast
  But our fascination with Jean
    has yet to pass ... 

  Interviewed last week at 103
    She'd heard of a gal age 114
  Faced her audience squarely and insisted
    "Now that's just too darn old to be!"...

One day when the POTUS was talking,
a muffled cough started him balking.
In arrogant boldness
and dismissive coldness,
he sent our poor Chief of Staff walking!




On June 17, when Trump was being interviewed, he
ordered Mick Mulvaney out of the Oval Office for coughing.
Mulvaney, who is the acting White House Chief of Staff,
also fills other positions.  POTUS--President of the United States

Written June 29, 2019, for Tania Kitchin's Limerick Contest...

It’s coming
A Nor’easter
they have held their finger up
compared the spaghetti plots
interviewed a guy with arthritis
unfurled the flags
sounded the alarm

and we wait
listening to the buoy bells
buying batteries and snacks
moving back from an unseen tide
knowing it will come
bending trees
scattering empty trash barrels
rattling a balky shed door
tearing at the edges of the bay

we know
it’s coming
A Nor’easter
And we wait!

Just watched

Megan and Harry

Happy as Larry

Being interviewed on Oprah's porch

Addressing the worldwide media
they left England for Canada to 
escape 

For both her mental and baby
Archies sake and state

With HRH Harry joking with
James Corden about how he
has become the 
Fresh Prince of Hollywood

Leaving it up to each and every
individual to decide and pick
a side

But no guessing who's son 
he really is

His mother taught him well
he learned from the best...
