Just getting computer screen fatigue here. Got to scratching, had to itch. Brain took off on its own with a dot-dot song. That's a problem when you let someone else hold your remote. Too much work, and not enough play can make Jerry crazy the whole long day.
I like the vowel and consonant repetitions in this piece - can really imagine this would work well performed live. As I type these words - the poem influences my fingertips :)
Dear Jerry, i've missed out a lot on your usually witty, meaningful works, having been away from AD for a good one year. Now that i'm back, you sure got all my dots in place! Beautiful work, as usual. Happy Valentine's day to you and your loved ones.
Your words never cease to make me smile. :~) I have missed reading your words.

Oh Jerry, time to take a long walk! I love this; it's fun, light, airy and poignant all at once. It's always wonderful to see a favorite poet strike a different pose every now and then! I've always admired your bright sense of humor, but you've let it take center stage here as it much deserves. Thank you for the smile! AND - Happy Valentine's Day!

Indeed!
Homer's Ill Iliad & Odd Sea Odyssey (420 pages) is an adult satire/parody rewrite of the classic stories of the 10 year Trojan War and of the 10 year adventure of Odysseus trying to return home to his native Ithaca.
The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
