And Lecture on Conjecture;
Did blow many minds.

why no one has voted for him at all
is beyond our conjecture
until you are unfortunate enough to go hear him lecture....

The lecture experience: 

much rustling: much note taking; 
much note taking: much importance; 
much importance: much studying....

My watch stopped during a minute of silence
Stood there for hours, was like a lecture on science
Not that it was boring
Spent my time snoring
My watch alarm woke me, dreamt of nasty lions...

My Wonerful Artwork
Hidden
Beautiful
Real
The pain is what I needed
And pain is what I got
Spare me the lecture
I finally smiled
And that smile has yet to leave my face
NOTHING and NO ONE will change that...

A mathematician named Stanley Quist 
So impressed his fellow topologists
   By finding a proof of a complex conjecture,
   Then disappearing during his lecture.
For he had just proven that S. Quist did not exist....

Lecture Given By Clergy

We were given a lecture by the clergy,
With much energy exhibited in liturgy,
Done deal;
No appeal,
Who later had been accused of perjury.

Jim Horn


Kavanaugh was part of the clergy so he
had said....

grandmother speaks I listen
grandmother lectures I learn
grandmother cooks I clean
grandmother sings I dance
grandmother's buried I'm left alone
when I speak who will listen
when I lecture who will learn
when I cook who will clean
when I sing who will dance
when I am buried who will be left alone...

Rain is falling with a tune of my wife’s lecture 
I couldn’t bear this, so I hide under a cover 
But the sound of sparkling unexpected thunder
Made me to match it with my wife’s holler 
I was waiting for it to stop 
But when it did stop 
My wife suddenly appeared in front of me 
Then again my peace was snatched from me...

Someone comes to shoulder the cost
Of what you’d spent and thought you lost
And you have money recovered
With lovers’ insurance covered!
But favor’s some kind of bullet
And you’ve lost another wallet…
If your helper was a Lecher
You’d to God pray for a lecture
For The Lust that makes him Leper
Tom, Dick and Harry, Blank Paper....

i know you care
i know i need help
i know what you tell me
theres no need to lecture
or try to make a point
i already know
i'm gonna make the choices
i make
because i want to
because i can
i could stop,
if i wanted
if i had to
so theres no need for you to say
what you say
because i already know
and for some reason...
i don't care...

It is on the other side of this planet
Foxes go to school to learn humility
Chickens sit and listen to them teach

It is on the other side of this planet
Humans sit at the back of automobiles
Monkeys drive them to destination

It is on the other side of this planet
Trees lecture to humans about climate’s anger
Humans agree to disagree no more...

"And this is good old Boston,
The home of the bean and the cod,
Where the Lowells talk to the Cabots
And the Cabots talk only to God."
          John Collins Bossidy, 1910

And this is good old Washington,
The home of capital defense and bold bald evils,
Where the Democrats lecture the Republicans
And the Republicans speak only against Devils....

I love you
for you're
the reason
I've a place
in this race.
The reason I
feel life breathe,
love, laugh
and yes,
even grieve.
But, dear mom,
please don't
lecture me
on how to be
a son
because, you see,
you've never
been one
let alone
an only son!

                    With love. Sincerely,
                            Your son.  ('68)...

I weigh the future with the event of the past;
A kind of lecture I school myself to abide,
The hate of my foes against their call for a relation,
For a reason that they need my intelligence to satisfy their proceedings:
I weigh, 
Thinking it a blessing or a curse; spreading my value before the eyes my foes.
Oh, yeah! I’m troubled at heart over a favor I doubt....

whispering..."wait...that's me"

Either she had skipped a class,
Now in lecture halls with Glass
Or had merited The New
For The Quite Brilliant Few:
To no longer mow down grass
Mean labor prefects bypass;
What All Former mates treasure
And strictly take for pleasure
Like Ice-cream-recharged leisure!

It is an Immunity
Not in University
And that’s The Adversity,
For others she shall pity....

She’s excited, an entire weekend
with Grandma and Grandpa.

She chatters about friends,
answers questions about school,
then blurts, “I don’t like Katy,
she’s stupid.”

I’m primed to lecture
on name-calling, when she adds,
“She pushed me down,
and hurt my head.”

“That wasn’t very nice,” I say.

“Oh, she’s nice,” she says.
“I don’t know why she’s stupid."...

Attended a poetry reading 
    on a cold day 
in Gotham
A pianist played Chopin Scarlatti and Debussy 
   Heard a lecture about Anti - Facist poets 
of the 1940's
       Along with other poets
and a humorous piece about Trump 
    I got up and read my verse 
Six poems to some applause 
    Read a limerick that I wrote 
about Middle Earth 
All in all a nice day!...

He sat on a wooden chair
In front of him was a wooden table
On it was placed some paper
a bottle of packaged drinking water
Some disposable glasses
He had invited people attend his lecture on degradation of environment

So many people talking about it
No one doing anything...

And I am not ashamed to admit 
I am one of them.
Worst  part is I am criticising him....
