No other poem
ever got as many
loud guffaws
from the
Jefferson High School
teachers' cafeteria
where 
AT LEAST
twenty people
told me
they had 
never before
heard the word
"Scamella"
BUT
no one 
   laughed
 louder than
 my 
late 
great
       brother-in-law,

  1. The "Christopher Vincent King" link is for my nephew
    who—supposedly—shared the poem
    with his friends/family
    in Westport, Connecticut
