"...poetry has power / Arising from surprising turns of phrase / ... / An emancipation of words to dance"
Absolute Us
The chirping voice of the Happy McNews Take it or leave it whichever you choose If you believe it or not and refuse There is not a lot you can do today To make the bad news good nor go away
The Happy McNews does not speak for me And all I can do is write poetry With which you may agree or disagree But I would like to make you smile awhile Stimulate discussion and spark some style Into the darkness of this evening hour
