Hook line and sinker
Now a twittering stinker uses my clothes
That opinionated SOB even looks like me
Tee hee hee
He's free to cuss and fume and howl at the moon
And, brevity is a must
Trimmin' hashtags flags verbosity and
even 1 more symbol is not tolerated
The thimble only hold this much
tough to do unless I remember I can fill page 2 too
if I damn well please
Sieze the day away and talk to them!, twidiot

"Hi Miserably Happy, interesting topic. It reads more like prose than poetry, but my guess is that is what you want. Not sure what you mean and to whom you're referring. Perhaps you could give me an idea. Powerful piece…"

About Me

About me

60 years old, hoping to do something worth noticing without giving up much anonymity.

I am inspired by Mitt Romney (a little), George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Pete Townsend, Small business owners who care about a modest profit, and more about the people they serve. I also look up to John Prine, Walt Whitman, the incarcerated youth in Atlanta, GA, and the next poet I read.

Location: SC
