Pepe's is for tourists, you know that. Don't forget the Anchor on your downtown tour--play some Patsy on the jukebox for me and Paola. Visit Mr Hezekiah Gilbert under the Green, he "who was educated at Yale College Where he graduated 1783 An early Death terminated His Studies & Literary Pursuits and called him into Eternity." And Tune Inn, but only if someone old school is playing and the bar's open. Alas, the Grotto. Ah, New Haven. Ah humanity.

Like the middle bits a lot, but the frame doesn't really work for me. My immediate reaction was "well, then, what are you going to tell me in this one?" and then you don't, you just dance around the room. Last stanza seems tacked on.

So what. Did I put quotation marks around it: no. Did my point come across with the desired effect: yes.

i don't think you could mean "auger." it's a noun, the tool, not the act. you might mean "augur," but that doesn't make much sense either.

amusing or not, you're quoting the title incorrectly.
UnityMitford replying on Danse by Limness 12 Dec 2002, 11:22 AM
i disagree with GW (george washington). to start a poem with "in another poem i'll tell you" and then go ahead and tell of those things anyhow is very effective. like the compulsion overtakes any poetic restraint or intention of poetic restraint. i would like the first stanza to be a bit longer and would be happy enough if the whole thing ended at "everything." top-shelf effort, limness, as you call yourself.

You know this isn't really about sex with aliens, right?

You push to far. Stop making fun of the poor kid just because you've got cupcakes and factory sealed potato-chips, while he's got lunch-vouchers. I know you know what I mean, otherwise you wouldn't know how to be so cruel. Good-night, kiss the baby for me.
You think you deserve a trust fund just because you want one. Sure you talk the talk when you need to. I fear the whole world is sarting to believe you, don't forget I'm on your side. Be glad I'm on your side. I guess on nights like this you know who your friends are. I'm going to bed. Stop trying so hard. You're the best there is.
It is practice for you soap opera career. How important. They will soon pour cement in you honor.
