Hubert Wilson Poems

Wonder of the globe!
Expansive probe!
Important as Leopold and Loeb!
Respected as Jobe!
...

Andrew Jackson, known as Old Hickory.
George W, known as Old Trickery?
Andrew Jackson, the Hero of New Orleans battle.
George W, the Zero of New Orleans death rattle?
...

Arntine with her from Norway fled.
Needing family in Sweden instead.
Necessary for the other three.
International acclaim later of the highest degree.
...

All for the power of that little ball.
Their own bodies and reputations they did maul!
...

Mary had to know!
Was George's affair starting to blow?
With the seventh commandment question he went ballistic!
...

Oh, for a brother?
Or, a sister or any other?
...

Bobbie Jane Gaudette seethed with the deepest denial!
How could he leave her?
So frustrated with what he had done.
No hero to her -
...

Frightened airman from the Texas sky,
Fearful man who would jump to lie!
Man who meant not what he would say!
This craven man deserved the despised yellowest beret!
...

Really, W war is romantically great?
Only if it's not W's fate!
Money by W and his friends to be made.
America - completely played!
