What a great, funny, crazy-silly poem story! You just letting go and letting it “all hang out”. I’m still smiling.

Funny and brilliantly laid out! Reminds me of Shel Silverstein’s “song” Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out but with a philosophical twist at the end. Love the lead-in intro!

The first time I heard this poem was on Jon Aile's radio show on KUT. I don't know how many years ago that was, but if memory serves it was before I met you in person. I still find this poem delightful and one of your best. So glad you are doing this my friend!

There is a huge smile on my face as I read the poem. Wonderful to feel the wild part of ourselves coming out when we least expect them to and under the fear, a great delight that they are still there.
