ReplyDeleteLove the title - great song.
ReplyDeleteSubtle approach :)
Miss Mouse did not work so I wheeled out Mr Genghis Khan...far more effective!
ReplyDeleteSwinging from chandeliers? In your little apartment?!
ReplyDeleteMine ia a large 2 bedroom aprtment. I moved. Remember?
ReplyDeletekeyboard carnage
ReplyDeletei sent an old harmonium to the dump the other day
this feels like it is haunting me =)
You have done a bad thing Miss Chili. Karma will get you. Best hide out in the green slippers.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! I'll have to get my Jack on the big bass drum next time they start drilling next door!
ReplyDeleteI'll have what she's having.
ReplyDeleteI'll send you some Matt.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant Rall, tried reading it aloud - doubly brilliant.
ReplyDeleteUma I have tried so many times to leave a comment...I can't read those numbers ...really enjoyed your poem...I wrote a long comment and it was rejected because of those bloody silly numbers.
ReplyDeleteThe staccato rhythms of the short lines really complement the story well. Such a wonderful cacophony.
ReplyDeleteYou are insane! I actually pity Vlad. (a bit)
ReplyDeleteSo nicely built. Hard and loud, all those K sounds. YeeeHa!
hiroshima sad sad tho the musical group is dynomite!!! i enjoyed your newsworthy article made me think as i read thru each line... much of thought provoking and filled with smiles... as news should be yes no... a life in the day
ReplyDeleteits all good Rall....well have to think about Frankie Laine.....Hank Williams or Dylanwould be better noise....Noise?????...hmm dam ravens in the morning....coyotes....such wonderful noises in the mountains.....thanks Rall
ReplyDeleteRall,
ReplyDeleteExcellent read. And about those guys in the band, I have been trying to reach them. But they won't answer their cells. Sorry! ;)
Pamela
This is wonderful, Rall! Frankie Lane? Priceless! You have manged to weave all those words together into a brilliant little poem. And now we have one more poem to write ... so sad!
ReplyDeleteWow! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanky'all for your comments and Wayne
ReplyDeleteDylan and Hank Williams are not really suitable musical accompaniments for a cowboy sex romp.
I stole this idea from a hilarious scene in a movie called
'I Do', a French movie starring Charlotte Gainsbourg and Alain Chabet...just in case you thought I was speaking from personal experience
In our present physical condition my partner and I would have to be hospitalised if we attempted anything like this!
