poem of the day December 20 

The lack of

a good big melting pot

boils over a nation

into steaming streams

of mislead anger

The hot emotion

upsets the caste foundation

of brittle old white cast iron

The danger of leaking gas

makes the world dicey

The sage of omnipresence 

who once sang lead at the lost opera

before the pot boiled over

Now says to believe 

and be afraid of the words

of wantabe dictators
