If forgetting were an art,

A crazy lady
outside my house
woke up everybody
with a rant about
Fo'get those peoples
Because of your quatrain,
I had to listen
very closely
to the rest of it
:::
Them young peoples
who call the'selves
INFLUENCERS
are sick
INFLUENZAS
The ornery curse
of the universe

I could not help but notice that the last five lines
ReplyDeletespoken by "A Crazy Lady" employ perfect English,
in a manner of speaking.
Maybe you should let Mr. Steerling edit
ALL of Mr. Oliverio's pages.
It is an extremely rare occurrence
Deletethat Frances allowed your comment
to be posted
I think he allowed it only because
of your flattering suggestion
I only hope he doesn't
create a coup d'etat
Regardless of who is responsible for these pages,
ReplyDeletethis blog is one of my favorites
because it does not cater to
the lowest common denominators
and is truly diverse, in every
sense of the word,
But the rant of the angry lady
featured above sounds like ebonics
which some people might find very offensive.
Thank you for complimenting my blog.
DeleteIn the notes for this page,
Frances Steerling wrote that the Angry Lady
was "very blonde,very white and very leggy."
She probably has offspring who call themselves
INFLUENCERS but won't allow their mother
anywhere near their homes
or bank accounts
