Merry Christmas
Tuesday, December 25th, 2007May you find the joy,
Everybody, one and all.
Real as it comes and goes.
Rest your little heads,
Year to end in seven days.
Cancerous words fill our days,
Hours and minutes.
Reality sets in,
Is this who I really am?
Sanity is relative,
Tall expectation are hard to meet.
May you be who you want to be,
As you should be:
Sublime!

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007Oh Mister Hawkeye
your corn is enticing
I won’t lie
the cold aint exciting.
Ottumwa (pronounced Uh-tuhm-wa), is where my hat hangs.
It’s a pullover, very warm.
Tom Arnold, best remembered as Roseanne’s husband, is an Ottumwan.
Their famous loose meat sandwiches started here,
Canteen Lunch Alley, where it all began.
Loose meat,
sounds like a metaphor
for some gay after school special.
Mayor Jerry Parker
declared Ottumwa “Video Game Capital of the World”
in 1982.
Seriously? 1982?
I was zero.
Were Atari’s even out then?
Iowa, millions and millions served since 1846.
