let's play two

and we might as well read two too...

Don’t Try This at Home, Dude

By Stuart Shea

You can’t cut the lawn
Like Carlos Z. pitches.
You’d lose hold of the mower
And get 80 stitches.

You can’t do your taxes
Like Carlos Z. throws.
You’d ball up receipts
And punch your own nose.

You can’t do brain surg’ry
Like Carlos Z. hurls.
Your patients would die
While you did angry twirls.

But there’s nothing like watching the dervish in blue
When he harnesses everything that he can do.
Just ask HOU.

Armageddon Somethin’ Goin’ On

by James Finn Garner

Some say we face the End Times,
With ice caps disappearing,
Financial pains and hurricanes,
And war with Russia nearing.

But th’ hills of Armageddon
Will look like fields of clover
If the Pale Hose and Cubs oppose
Each other in October.

We’ll see blue-faced yuppies pounce
On shirtless mokes with mullets,
The Bridgeport night with bombs alight,
and Bernie’s strafed with bullets.

The hordes of Satan’s army
And counterparts from Heaven
Will find that they’ve not much to save
If the Series goes to seven.

E3H

Go to the boards; discuss (in your sections) the poems assigned yesterday. You are preparing yourselves to be tomorrow's discussion leaders (and grades could be involved).

E2H

Again, we have little specific that we can do until tomorrow with the literature. Therefore I'd like you to add something to the discussions of either the Wikicab or Wikigram board (or both).

CW

Time to work on your "after art" poems. Select a painting and begin working on a poem that is your reaction to it. When you are finished (any time between now and Saturday), post it online along with the artwork or a link to it.
