MAGNIFICENCE
Magnificence remained some likely fact
until the birds and beasts of heaven and earth
had practiced an amazing kind of mirth
impaling any readiness to act.
Some humdrum qualities soon formed a pact
that often would apparently give birth
to moments of quite monumental girth
whose shakings and large takings stayed intact.
I slowly strummed my broken-down guitar
while you renoted sundry little tilts
inclined, apparently, to build a car.
Some jolly personage remounted stilts
as able as the moon to tell a star
about the heavy thread-counts found in kilts.

you sure have a way with words bruce xxx

Dear **Jimmy**: I'm verbal enough
to move somewhat past mere, mere guff.
One fact, though, remaineth
that much of me straineth
a soup that is hardly fine stuff.
