Herd Scene
Clad in garb, ermine trimmed and cerise Comes a hirsute Caucasian, obese Levitates through the night Ungulates in full flight I’m not drunk so don’t call the police. ·······  ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you were in a rhetorical mood when asking about "gulates" and why they would want to be "un". For anyone else who reads this, I suppose an explanation might be in order... Ungulate: hoofed mammals; ie. deer or reindeer, pigs, cows, etc. Steve, as for the stocking, I have no fireplace with a mantel upon which to hang one so our jolly old "vertically challenged" or maybe "gravitationally impeded" quintuple octogenerian philanthropist will have to keep his lump of coal. Merry Christmas, Larry ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.
