Devouring the Tuna Melt
If eaten too slowly, the end is
cold and hard,
requiring jaws of might
yet when eaten too quickly, the end is
sad like lost time and lost delight
if you can pace and savor, enjoy yet relax
the grilled melt tastes great, at last.
but few have the temperament to consume
neither too calmly nor too fast
why is it we race through the melt
only thinking upon the last crumb in our sight?
what a shame it is that not every morsel
is treated like the last
fateful
bite
i don't know the answer to my dilema, you see
but have a question to pose
I do:
     When you come upon the last bite
     of your own Tuna Melt,
     Will you still be ravenous?
     or satisfactorily full?

On Bureaucrash.com there was the following article:

North Korea has a contest you may be interested in. To remember their "great leader" Kim II Sung, they are awarding the author of the best poem a "fine traditional Korean painting on silk created by a merited artist."
Now what rhymes with "commie dictator ass hole?"

Well this article got me thinking. What
does rhyme with "commie dictator ass hole"? I thought of a few things, so I submitted my poem to the North Korean contest!

This commie dictator ass hole
would not only
kill your blind pet mole,
but then confiscate your last rice bowl,
as he robbed your peers for the hefty toll
for he had an overly-idealist mind
and a crooked soul

think I'll win?

Hunger
Always hunger
the knotting and twisting and reminding kind
so forceful inside of me
it's driving me
half out of my mind
I am well nourished
I am well fed
I am pleasantly plump some say
this hunger inside of me
is not from lack of food
but hunger for the light of day
I long to see
the white sand
and to find a seashell on the shore
and ride a horse
hike miles of land
anything to cure this
bore
I'm hungry for change
I'm hungry for art
I'm hungry for a home of my own
I'm hungry for love and for science
but all I can do is groan
these days do not end
nights are all the same
I'm waiting for something unknown
will you come with me
run away with me
we'll live together
and start each day
anew
MORE TO COME!!!
