The Power of your Style is Equal to Experience X Speed of your mind.

But, you used Roy Orbison's picture.

he spoke of Tommy Dorsey

but posted shaded Roy

and Dorsey sounds like horsie

(which makes me think of Troy)

oh crap!  I cannot stop this

it's causing me much pain

now everything I think about

comes out a lame quatrain

no really!  it's a pickle

Hell would not be far worse

when every thought I try to jot

forms one more 4-line verse

Stop it Clifton, that is enough... 

I'm trying!  that's exactly

what makes things such a mess

I seem to be in some strange zone

(it's causing me duress)

No, that is awesome. 

Andy is not awesome. He is nuts. 

PS = E * SM2  ...that's funny!

perhaps I read a bit too much

Ted Geisel when a tot

now all his catchy rhymes re Whos

have tied me in a knot

yes, truly I am bonkers

red-lady's right betimes

I guess I'll move to Yonkers

(there's nothing else that rhymes)

The Najdorf fixed potential

Times the purity of soul

Provides the differential

Of the Boleslavsky Hole.

and now here comes old pawnee

straight from our Lit Feud thread

(he's traded his old picture

for a small doggy's head)

Zugzwang is the weapon

To force to a conclusion

End games that can slip on

The cloak of grand illusion.

Each thing in it's proper place

Dear old hamburger head

Whether quasars in outer space

Or songs of the Grateful Dead!

now that's more like the pawnee

I've come to know and razz

making fun of my hamburger bun

while praising hippie jazz

I hope I'm not too late

too join in on this silly game

But grill that burger on a grate

hippie jazz? I'll listen just the same

Touche, touche, I do confess

I visit some topics too much,

But is a bun really the best

For avatars and such?

for one more poet-taster

a burger on a plate

you two, rejoice! your rhymes are choice

(seems I can't help my state)
