closed its doors
rather than compromise
its extraordinarily high
academic standards
or beg donors for money
BUT
it was the Bishop Reilly
—Class of '67—
that discovered
two nicknames
for HE
who has a birthday
in twenty-five days
The class survivors
[me included]
hope you celebrate
His birthday
OR
celebrate someone
else's birthday
OR
celebrate something
to avoid the toxins
of loneliness
A distinguished survivor
of
Bishop Reilly Class of 67
is
whose clients were
Scorsese, Spielberg, Coppola,
et al
Another distinguished survivor is
Regarding
the last meal of
mature "Fuzzy Wuzzy,"
McCarthy wrote a song
related to the dude
who received
30 pieces of silver
—under the table—
but the lyrics
contain a comment
about the former Schnozz's
midlife:
JUST BECAUSE
HE WALKED ON WATER
DOESN'T MEAN
THAT HE CAN SWIM
