THE RED WHEELBARROW (by William Carlos Williams)


so much depends
upon

a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens

THE PINKISH CONDOM (by B.H.)


So much pivots
upon

one pink-
ish condom

honed by
factory friction

and now in
some pocket

An interesting parody, Bruce

Certainly something to ponder

Dear **Carol**: Such texts (though quite small)
might seem to create their own squall.
I felt so effusive
I managed abusive
results in a style from some mall.

Oh! Now I think I understand!

Americans love to rely on shock appeal

Dear **Carol**: Your point is well taken,
since this is a nation forsaken.
I stumble and mumble
while meaning to fumble,
and soon every 'concept' seems shaken.

It is interesting that rubber or plastics
Are often fashioned into prophylactics
Yet are you aware
That one can go bare
At least that is often my tactics

Dear **Steve**: I am one of those folk
who 'thrives' because rubber once broke.
I've gathered, however,
that facts now persever
implying that worlds crave HOT POKE.

Dear **Carol**: Thanks (MUCH) for that 'drawing' --
which almost might cause my full thawing!
Viagra (I gather)
is good for a lather
that rips every moment toward RAW-ING!!!!!

I am reading and learning ....

Read on crushed rose.....!
Don't hesitate to join in!!


Dear **Bruce:**
Maybe you'll take the hint
that you might be needing a supplement,
in order to keep up with your fracas
of claiming star stud-muffin status

Dear **Carol**: I need all the help
implicit in kelps that can whelp.
My organized manner
soon proves I'm a spanner
on bridges produced by Gym Phelp.

Hey Bruce thank you for posting William Carlos Williams' The Red Wheelbarrow. I enjoyed reading it. I also enjoyed reading your parody The Pinkish Condom. Good poem. ~Scott

So much depends
upon

so much rudeness
and whether you

are considered
obnoxious

and left
alone

Dear **Scott** & Dear **Carol**: I grapple
with comments like those, then eat apple.
Manhattan (a city?)
now garners some pity
for dealing with horses I dapple.

certainly an interesting parody..
