Poet Laureate

[Ralph Copleman]

All hail Florian,

our new poet Laureate, and possessor of perhaps the most poetic name on this
list.

In honor of this moment,  I have re-written the 23rd psalm, and have chosen
to share it with all here.  (It's Saturday night in the US, and I'm in a
partying mood.)  Please understand: if you feel that my treatment of this
classic piece of scriptural writing is in any way disrespectful, I offer no
apologies.

My Twenty-third Plan


The lawyer is my sharpie, I shall not wet,
He maketh me lay dowagers in green panties,
He leans me up against the shrill widows,
They replenish my sores,
He lords me over a patch of real estate for his nemesis.

Even though I waddle through the vicinity of the shade trees of Dearborn,
I will feel no eagles,
for thou aren¹t white meat,
Thy road and thy shaft, they compost me,
You propose a tabloid before me on the pretense of an enema,
you analyze my head with ointment, my car ran her over,
Surely gooseflesh and mercury shall, foolish me,
oil the days of my life.
and I shall drill in the hearse of the lewd; forgive her.

P.S. For our non-American friends, Dearborn is a city in the state of
Michigan, USA
