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.

the ritz charlatan

so she ate crackers
while pretending to be friends
a crumby bed mate





Yes Alan,
that is what I was referring to in my piece! The Chinese chopped up "Japanese rulers"... "Diet" during many of
their wars. Oh, please don't shout!

Dear Larry,

Now I have your comment, I see much more in your faux-ku than I saw before. Very clever indeed. I looked up diet and found ruling assemblage, but did not backward-connect.

JUST DESSERTS : SERVES YOU RIGHT

a crumbly bed mate
fifty year plus marriage
priapic ? no chance

Alan

PS Is size 3 bold acceptable for title ?
