The Long Awaited Return Of Adan And Eva

________________________________________________________________________________________________

"I think I found fleas,"
 said Adan, while scaling
 Mount Big Cheese.

 Eva's feet dig into
 a Cheesy cheek.

She was not 
 feeling 
 meek.

 She was thinking:
"I can't wait to 
 hump his rump."
 ***

"His Cheesy hair"
  exclaimed Adan
  looks like a wizened
  Italian Trump.

"Your mind,
  as always"
  said Eva,
"Is under the bus
  and all you really are
  is jealous."

The Vertical Church

________________________________________________________________________________________________

© Oliverio

The congregation
is non-sectarian.

Church members
are not held together
by common faith.

What they have 
in common is
a physical feature:

All members are
six feet six inches
or taller.

There is no crucifix
in the Vertical Church.

There is only
a basketball hoop.

The Pastor's name
is "Coach."

Today's sermon:   
Transcending the D-League

Pews are made of 
splintered wood
because no one 
wants to sit
on the bench.

But there is no ball.
Only hope.

A Photograph From Virginia + A Poem From Vonnegut

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Sweet wraith,
Invisible mist of . . .
I am—
My soul—
Wraith lovesick o’erlong,
O’erlong alone:
Wouldst another sweet soul meet?
Long have I
Advised thee ill
As to where two souls
Might tryst.
My soles, my soles!
My soul, my soul,
Go there,
Sweet soul;
Be kissed.
Mmmmmmm.

A Multiplication Of What Titian Painted Almost 500 Years Ago

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Titian (12x) 
Pope Paul III and his Grandsons
(1545)

QUESTION:
If the grandsons of a Pontiff
were than acknowledged as such
then today, there must be
legitimate descendents
of a Pope.

Are such people
stockholders of the Vatican?

...
advisors to Pope Francis?

Or are they
just plain folks?

What Is A Dad To Do ... A Poem For Michael

________________________________________________________________________________________________

What is a Dad to do

when every work day

is a hell hole of teenagers

though some call it a classroom

What is a Dad to do

when every home day

is a battlefield with three

gender opposites

though some call it family

What is a Dad to do?

1.

Squirrel away every bent

syllable and verb

until another poem

is born

though some call it esoterica

What is a Dad to do?

2.

Squirrel away every dollar

without budget collar

and at season's end 

of every hellhole

say Hello Europe

with three gender

opposites

He goes through hell

to give them a taste

of heaven

3.

and the comfort

to call him 

Terrible

Did You Hear The One About The Teacher Who...

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Had a student who ditched

his Math class for the last two

months of the semester

But gave the student
 C+ as a final grade

???

The student wasn't 
ditching school,
he was just
spending
his Math time
in the print shop.

The student was doing
computer work instead of
solving equations.

The Math teacher was chummy
with CW, whose print shop
did work for fifteen schools
in the area in addition
to printing weekly
advertising circulars.

The Math teacher was not
mad at CW for harboring
one of his students.

Quite the contrary!

CW allowed the student
to use his printing facilities
for a "special project."

Of all the triangles
not named for Pythagoras,
THE PASCAL TRIANGLE
is the most important,
the most intriguing,
and the most practical.

It is also incredibly easy
to understand and,
visually, is very delightful.

If I wanted to be abstruse,
I would use the following
formula to explain
Blaise Pascal's
masterpiece:

But I would rather
just show you what
Miguel Cardenas created
for me to receive a C+
final grade for a class
he ditched for two months. 

This image is 
one-eighth
actual
size.

It is the first 20 rows
of the Pascal Triangle.
  

   

I was so proud

of Miguel Cardenas,

his art work became

patio decor when I moved

to Virginia.

Five of my little neighbors there,

none older than ten, were very curious

about Pascal's Triangle. 

I asked them to figure out

where each number came from

and they did so on their own:

Each number is the sum

of the two numbers above it.

Unless it is at the end of a row

in which case, the number is one.

I did, however, explain to them

Pascal's Hockey stick.

Check it out. 

Not until their ages had doubled

would the five Virginia children

ever have learned about

Pascal's Triangle

if it had not been for

MIGUEL CARDENAS

of South-Central

Los Angeles.

The False Dichotomy

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The classical orchestra and the jazz combo are fixed images of polar opposites.

Solid structure and loose improvisation may fit on the same musical globe but have the proximity of the north and south pole.  

Or do they?

THE CLASSICAL ORCHESTRA:      

Fifty chairs  set  in perfectly curved rows and columns  containing fifty tuxedoed musicians segregated by instrument: violins/violas in one  section,  cellos/double bass in  another;  upper-register wind instruments in the mezzanine, lower-register in the rear of the stage.

Behind them, tympani/percussion is placed diametrically opposite the Conductor. 

For every chair, a music stand with sheets of symbols demanding absolute obedience. 

What  is  the end product of this assemblage?
 

It is the music that the Gods listen to 
when they takes the phone off the  hook.  

The musicians will probably sip champagne after the concert.

 

THE JAZZ  COMBO:    

A piano,  drum kit,  and maybe a microphone for the stand-up bass player are set up on a small stage with poor lighting. Maybe a chair if the band contains a guitar and  maybe mikes for the horn section,  if there is one.

Possibly a singer will tell a tale of sexual promiscuity. Hopefully the club owner will pay everybody. 

What is the end product of  this  assemblage? 
 

This is the other music the Gods listen to 
only now they pull down the shades and tap their feet. 

The musicians will probably smoke a joint between sets.
 

And  the Gods  laughs  olympically at  the so-called  “improvising” of  the jazz band. As  if the musicians were making it up out of thin air when they’ve spent entire lifetimes preparing the sounds they are creating. 

Can this music function without a “Conductor”?
Definitely!

Drumsticks are transformed batons that become the two hands of a clock and every drummer is Father Time’s alter ego. 

And Father Time wears a Conductor's suit.

I will tell you this:
Kurt Vonnegut

This was not a coincidence.

It is just the way

A Presidential Debate About A Round White Thing

________________________________________________________________________________________________

In honor of President's Day,

the question is asked:

Which President threw out

the BEST First Pitch

???

The tradition of a President

throwing the First Pitch

of  a baseball game

dates back to

William Howard Taft

but MLB.com presents

video of every President

since John Kennedy

doing so.

As for the bold italic
question above:

I never thought I would say this but

PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH

was the best.

He is the only pitching Prez

who did NOT make the catcher

move out of "his crotch"

to catch the ball.

Trump Must Hate MSNBC Less Than He Hates TIME Magazine

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Despite the implication

of the quotation marks,

MSNBC assumes that

Donald Trump's Presidency

will exist for 100 days.

But last week,

TIME Magazine

suggested Congress begin

Impeachment proceedings
immediately,

less than 21 days

after Trump became

 the President.
