Are You Now Or Have You Ever Been ...

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
Are you now
or 
have you eve been
a McDonalds stockholder?
 
NO
was my response to
the Supreme Court
of 
the Elephantine Ego
 
This was good news
because
McDonalds
was responsible for
the most expensive
Superbowl ad
—that never aired—

The Second British Invasion

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
was led by 
the Beatles, the Rolling Stones,
the Who, the Kinks,
Dave Clark Five, Manfred Mann
and 
too many
brilliant Rock n' Rollers
to hyperlink.
 
Their success and influence
is impossible to measure.
 
HOWEVER,
if the first British invasion
had been half as successful,
this year 
we would be celebrating
250 years of dancing to
bagpipe music

Logik Is The Key To Suckcess ... Sic Sic Sic

Logik

He Caused Nightmares In The Publishing World

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 

Written with
simplicity and lucidity,
wrote high school math books
in paperback form
that were not torture
in a student's backpack
 
However,
the schoolbook division 
of the publishing world
went into a state of shock
 
"So what if he makes it easier
to understand math,
he is seriously cutting into 
our profit margin! 

"We do not need an educated world,
we need a world
that never compromises
our profits and control"

" ... To Be Tried By A Jury Of My Fears" ... Sic Sic Sic

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
My trial for crimes
I may
—or may not have—
commit
might not be happening
because
(weeks ago) 
I received  this notification:
 
BUT today is March 14, 2026

Yet,
the pun in the title
of this page
about 
My Fears
has heightened
paranoia
to the point where
I am looking over my shoulders
while I am lying down
 
My Fears 
about what may be
non-existent crimes
are based on 
a Superbowl Halftime ad
sponsored by 
McDonalds
 
The Superbowl is a game
and what I really need is 
  a game plan:
 
Within eighty-eight hours,
I will post 
EVERYTHING
relevant to my trial
excluding all the restrictions
placed on this Blog
and all the jabberwocky
in between

IT Happened On My Father's 110th Birthday ... Page One

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
My Father's 110th birthday
was three days ago
and Mrs. CarPeo
was 
incredibly tolerant
of my inherited
chain-smoking
and charcoal-eyed 
misbehavior
 
BUT
the most profound memory
is not pretty:
 
is an extremely popular
word-guessing puzzle
to which I am addicted
 
It appears daily 
in the 
New York Times
+
my third 180-day streak
of correct answers 
and 99% ranking
came to an end
!!!

What Did I Know And When Did I Know It?

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
In 1967,
I knew who 
"em Booze"
was
 
It was a Sunday morning
when my Father
drove me to Willets Point
 
He gave me $40
and said
Let's go Jets
 
This was to be 
the only football game
I attended at Shea Stadium
 
Joe Namath
Matt Snell, and Larry Grantham 
were the team leaders
 
But the star of this game was
who would lead the league 
in touchdowns
that year
 
There is no memory of
anyone chanting "BOOZE"
to acknowledge him
 
But 
I had a general admission ticket
and 
there were shouts of
Sock It To Me 
from black men
who also had
general admission 
tickets
 
At the end of the following season,
 
That following year,
one of the funniest shows
in the history of network television 
premiered:
 
made the phrase
Sock It To ME
universally famous

February 
was a trying month
and 
I am about to go

commit
 
But
nothing more about that

I need a day of rest today
and will do
nothing more than

my photographs
