Classic Poem

a plankwalk to the sea

a smoked salmon on a line

a ball of packing twine

everything in eggs and cubes

as effortless and helpless
as waiting for a corpse
with Jockey Club and heliotrope

here comes the bride
with kewpie blue eyes
and a lighted brassiere

it's a gay life
for the humorist
with a gardenia
