"rizzio" poems
OR
The Child Is Father Of The Man, But Not For Quite A While
So Thomas Edison
Never drank his medicine;
So Blackstone and Hoyle
Refused cod-liver oil;
So Sir Thomas Malory
Never heard of a calory;
So the Earl of Lennox
Murdered Rizzio without the aid of vitamins or calisthenox;
So Socrates and Plato
Ate dessert without finishing their potato;
So spinach was too spinachy
For Leonardo da Vinaci;
Well, it's all immaterial,
So eat your nice cereal,
And if you want to name your ration,
First go get a reputation.

I found a shell in a desert of rocks,
put up to my ear and never would have thought,
know what I heard?
almost forgot but listen twice,
the whispering is nice.
pretty thing with gold streaks on the side.
I still don't know why it was hiding.
and still cant see her well
but only time will tell,
with sweet Michelle.
