Comp. poem 5 Comments welcome

A poster on a window
it's look like a famous old artist
if he tries to rob shops,
like some ancient gun slinger
then
a singer
must die

a gun
is not
the answer

let's lynch Kelly
for making an old
man
desperate
for squeezing dreams
like old toothpaste tubes


let's rip her to pieces
pulling out her
teeth
so she won't need
no
old toothpaste anyway


lets suck out her eyeballs
til she can't see
and her glasses don't fit
across the bridge of her nose

I said the bridge
or someplace
lower

Lenny, I'm sorry it's come
to this
that's right it's come
to this
but Lenny,
I can lend you a penny
or is that taking the piss?

[Alan Alda]

Nice. I enjoyed reading the 'lynching' probably more than I should.

cheers,
Laurie

I was glad this writer got some of that vitriol processed through the images of revenge . I hope they feel better now or at least might pretend to . The turnaround wordplay on her name was clever. To answer your final question, however, I'd have to say "Yes" .
