He calls himself “fashion poet”,
One or two others know it…
In pursuits
Avoiding lawsuits,
He certainly doesn’t want to blow it!
–
Him being man and all,
Must carefully judge his call…
With less passion
Than stereotypical fashion,
Not being the Beast at the ball.
–
Gender matters to him,
Especially if women…
They’re the kind
He most has in mind,
Do they mind if he tiptoes in?

PAINTING PARTY!
(Tune of THE YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS)
–
Residents have a painting party
Half-an-hour from right now,
The room is sheathed in plastic–
Will the painters take a bow…
Copying one picture
In acrykic color paint,
Billed as fun for everyone
But Rembrandt it ain’t.
–
We are grasteful to the folks that
Brought this lady in,
At the risk of leaving carpet stains
Fun causes quite a din…
As for the Poet
His hands often shake,
It’s been a while since he’s tried
A straight line to make!
–
Like Joni Erickson-Tada,
I could paint with my teeth,
Don’t like the taste of brushes
But my choke reflex is brief…
I think I’ll stay with painting words
On the screens of reader’s minds,
And if I make a typo
I’ll catch it …in time!
And if I make a few typos…
I’ll catch them…in time!
