tonyv Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 It's coming from beneath a monobrow. His paddling makes them wet; they don't know how he does it. Mother lode of choice genetics enrapturing the rubes with stock aesthetics over and over his party is under a yenta, a yenta, a yenta, a kvetch.

Tinker Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 LOL Tony, this is funny. No this is not you, but who? The initials have me stumped, a riddle. Yiddish, genetics, circus lingo, this is certainly churning in my brain but so far, no solution. But a fun read. ~~Tink Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyv Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Glad you liked it, Tink.:)) I laughed after I wrote this, too, especially after I decided on the title. Thankfully it isn't me (really!), but S.W.I.M. is an acronym for Someone Who Isn't Me. It's kind of akin to saying, "So ... I have this friend who (fill in the blank). What should I tell him to do?" I hope that adds a new perspective to it, lol.

dr_con Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Sharp, humorous, and o so clever... A real treat Tony! It matters not who it is, but it does remind me of several talking heads I have seen on business nightly- a pleasant laugh to start the day!

Lake Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Hi Tony, This is light-hearted, rhythmic, and there's a kind of swingy feel. Fun read. Lake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyv Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 Thanks, Lake. Glad you liked it. I wrote it, as Frost said about "Acquainted with the Night," "for the tune."

Aleksandra Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I didn't quite understand this poem, Tony. But I see it's supposed to be fun?! I am dealing hard with rereading it and I would like to find out what is going on here. I could take the background of this poem from a first hand, can I? :). Otherwise, the poem looks interesting, but to me brings some serious tone in some probably fun way? Ok, I don't want to ramble more :). I hope you will help me with this one.
