Two Poems by Raymond Keen

The Weather Report

. . . or G. Gordon Liddy,

on TV playing himself.

Is this a great country, or what!

Rosland Capital sells gold,

real GOLD!

“. . . and I always get my GOLD

in 10 days or less!”

Is this a great country, or what!

Moving on to local news,

a pregnant mother murdered

her only living child,

her 4-month old daughter,

who just barely fit into

her MICROWAVE.

A GE Model JES2251SJ.

It’s the BIGGEST and it’s the BEST!

Is this a great country, or what!

Now let’s break for commercial.

Now let’s break for the stock report.

Now let’s break for the weather report.

Coming Next Fall:

MEDIA NEWS FLASH announces

a new reality show:

“Mothers-on-Parole who murdered their infants –

Pajama sleepover with Anderson Cooper.”

Don’t worry, America! Anderson is gay.

Verbs & Nouns Don't Clog Arteries

Surprise?

Or Bacon,

as in

I bacon you to believe

in earnest

Money

$$$$$!

No action

in sadness.

I dedicate this

POEM

to

onomatopoeia

or Pythagoras,

whichever comes 1^st.

(In a right angled triangle:
the square of the hypotenuse is equal to
the sum of the squares of the other two sides.)

a² + b² = c²

I rest my case x 3.

I rest my case x 3.

I rest my case x 3.

Now go take on the Day!
