When in a jam
when in jam
when jamming
Jabbering away
with a swagger
You get my drift
you aren’t daft
Riverrun dry
riverrun open
riverrun die
Mikey mukey moke
is poetry a joke?
– Leonard Blumfeld (© 2014)
Notes
What brought this one about? 1. Reading some poetry by an eminent contemporary British poet that did not make the least bit of sense. 2. What's worse: I didn't even feel like trying to read some sense into it or break my poor unpoetic mind doing so. 3. I'd also read the riverrun quote* somewhere today, so it was lurking in the back of my mind.
Have a mukey poetry day!
*From James Joyce's Finnegans Wake (1939).
