An Oliverio Poem Inspired By NATHANAEL WEST

________________________________________________________________________________________________

If you like fun

don't be one and done

 

And what's more

two is  Either/Or

 

It's easy to see

three is you,

me or We

 

And four is

doubled 

the either/or

 

Five is alive

Six knows all the tricks

Seven loves eleven

 

And eight is

doubled the the double

of either/or

 

Nine is divine

or fine as wine

or sour as pickle brine

 

Ten pulls out

all the stops

for the thieves

and the cops
