Affair

Alsace jews
from Mulhouse
foreign rebel
to the devil
j'accuse...!

It's racist? / That's baseless! / Mulhouse is on the historical A-list!
Mississippi
Is trippy.
Go away
You gay
Hippie.

Mississippi is the archetypal man of his generation. Told from the outcasts (others) view. We are forced to reject what we do not understand.
Untitled

A stoat
In a coat
Is a net
Threat
To your throat.

One if by land. Two if by sea. Three if by dry cleaners.
Taxed Enough

April drama
Heil Obama
tax/spend
children
kill your mama

Fanciful tale of Obama as Orestes. Correctly connects matricide to unconstitutional practice of income taxation.

Herbert's Fuse

Flower power

Summer showers
power flowers.
Which falls
squalls
then devour.

This poem brutally rams Dylan Thomas down George Herbert's throat. Or vice versa.

Postmodern meets primal

Better butter makes the bitter batter better

Hottentot
caught
in a Boer
War
plot

What / a lot / hath man wrought / from the Hot- / ten tot!

Technical proficiecy

Jack & Diane
John Cougar Mellencamp
always did well in camp
because
he was
the storytellin' champ.
