' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' Oh Poets Beware Outraged English Ladies! (New Year Poem For Miss Scarlett)

Rating: 2.7


Two outraged English ladies
'deux madames Anglaise'

their only weapons being
their umbrellas

hack and hack
(like wild things)

the outsized genitals

off of Epstein's statue
for Oscar's grave.

For years
'it' acts

as a paper
weight

for the Head
Adminstrator of the Pére Lachaise Cemetery.

Oh, you are so funny! ! I stand properly repremanded for not keeping my brolly furled! ! But it is so cold here right now that if it DOES rain, the drops will fall from the sky as ice, so no brolly needed...This southern belle is freezing her tushie off! ! Where is Al Gore's global warming when I need it? Funny work, mr. American Tourist! !
