My playmate’s walls doth shield things from the sun,
Kansas is far more flat, than her lid flat,
If snow be white, why then her inside’s dun:
Her lid peaked high, is nowhere that I’ve sat:
But ice therein melts not on sunny days,
Cold bottles she doth keep to cool my cheeks,
To give most sweet of all post-race solace,
That first cold drink, which cares not that one reeks.
And though she doth not speak, yet well I know,
That music hath no more a pleasing sound:
Than the clicking ere lid tips open so,
Presenting thus thirst quenchers all around.
And yet by heaven I feel such deep despair,
If her contents pre-race I don’t prepare.


Dang - best poem ever.
ReplyDeleteWow. Someone should get you a centerfold pinup of that there playmate.
ReplyDeleteIs there ahead in there? Under were?
ReplyDeleteThat was beautiful. It just gave me the Best Idea Ever: you should do a Poetry Theme Week where you blog about your usual stuff- Cross, Skiing, Stripper-Moms, Riding over defenseless wildlife whatever- but do the entire week in poem format. That would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteAre you trying to get rid of the readers you gained with your sandbagger post? Good work.
