Andrew Tate Is An Invalid This Is For the Youth
Andrew Tate influencing kids
but his peers think he’s stupid
not someone you’d want to know
what is he without his doe?
Have you ever seen him smile
have a laugh or look like fun
a material Barbie boy lifestyle
is he what you want to become
The man is lacking intellect
you don’t want

Date Night At the Tate
Her voice sounds like she’s speaking through a fan when she whispers. She always whispers when we stroll through the colossal Tate. She’s cautious and quiet in case the art may
be eavesdropping. It all seems silly to me, Van Gogh had a hard enough time hearing when he was alive.
Hedging my bets, I say “I

SPONTANEOUS TATE AND PROCRASTINATE
Spontaneous Tate and Procrastin Nate,
brothers getting ready for a special date.
Tate said “Nate, there's lots to do.”
Nate said, “Yes, I know! Just worry about you!”
Tate said “Nate, oh my, just look at the time.”
Nate said “Hey man, it's on my mind!”

if we're not

Give Me Your Best James Tate
They called out "Nutmeg'" hurry up,
Fred is onstage and doesn't want another flop,
I'd been taking dancing lessons overnight,
hoping my under eye bags wouldn't cause too much fright,
Fred in his usual top hat and tails,
while I wore a dress as big as a sloop sail,
grabbing my hands and swinging me all around,
the director watching us with

Fromage, James Tate Style
I once shocked you
by my Queen Maud Fromage poem,
remembering a time
when the good Queen Maud
choked on the heavy stuff.
Her courtiers were
about her suddenly,
and Queen Maud was
thumped on royal back
most thoroughly...
Thoroughly, yes thoroughly...
I have it on good report.
A doctor would not lie to me
about Queen Maud, now,
would he so?
The event put Queen off
the cheese for

Moto Guzzi Outside the Tate
Moto Guzzi outside the Tate
Oh glistening awesome motor stallion
your dovetailed bars, the windscreen’s sheen
you are indeed a work of art
each time I mount your leather saddle
your growling maelstrom comes to meet
your parody of love and travel
lest not to trust the judge’s gavel
thus speed the seed the heavens open
red as lust and sunshine clear
shine the

James Tate
An old man, few niceties, some stuttering
and near collapses. "I long to be abducted,"
he intones. Doesn't look up.
The first read through I can only see
his hands and a little white tuft under his lip
quivering. His voice is gruff and low, but
we're all laughing and our gaze is warm.
If he feels any of it, we can't

Dear Tate
For all the time I knew I always loved you I always thought of you
meant so much to me when you left it hurt me I never knew
how tall you are how smart you are I wish I have heard some of
the things you said the way you expressed your many thoughts
you are the
