i sing of Olaf glad and big   
by E. E. Cummings 

 
 

i sing of Olaf glad and big
whose warmest heart recoiled at war:
a conscientious object-or

his wellbelovéd colonel(trig
westpointer most succinctly bred)
took erring Olaf soon in hand;
but--though an host of overjoyed
noncoms(first knocking on the head
him)do through icy waters roll
that helplessness which others stroke
with brushes recently employed
anent this muddy toiletbowl,
while kindred intellects evoke
allegiance per blunt instruments--
Olaf(being to all intents
a corpse and wanting any rag
upon what God unto him gave)
responds,without getting annoyed
"I will not kiss your #$%*ing flag"

straightway the silver bird looked grave
(departing hurriedly to shave)

but--though all kinds of officers
(a yearning nation's blueeyed pride)
their passive prey did kick and curse
until for wear their clarion   
voices and boots were much the worse,
and egged the firstclassprivates on
his rectum wickedly to tease
by means of skilfully applied
bayonets roasted hot with heat--
Olaf(upon what were once knees)
does almost ceaselessly repeat
"there is some #$%* I will not eat"

our president,being of which
assertions duly notified   
threw the yellowsonofa#$%*
into a dungeon,where he died

Christ(of His mercy infinite)
i pray to see;and Olaf,too

preponderatingly because
unless statistics lie he was
more brave than me:more blond than you.

Not bad... 

Here are some I can't forget:

Robert Frost

The way a crow
shook down on me,
the dust of snow
from a hemlock tree;

Has given my heart
a change of mood,
and saved some part
of a day I had rued.


Carl Sandburg

The fog comes on little cat feet...


can't get past that line - damn mess to clean up!

I do believe that's e.e. cummings.


There once was a lad in Australia
Who painted his ass like a dahlia
The drawing was fine
The colors divine
The aroma! That was the failia

[Uncle Ernie]

Mr M, you are deep, man.

Isn't this one Emiliy Dickinson?

There once was a man from Nantucket
Who's dick was so long he could suck it
He said with a grin, wiping cum from his chin
If my ear were a #$%* I would #$%* it.


Deep man, deep.

I really haven't read much EEC but I do have another quote from him I use in my signature sometimes.

E.E. Cummings wrote, "To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting." Sorta applies to us old Honda riders I would think

[firecracker]

Said differently:

'cause I got my own world to live through,
and I ain't gonna copy you.

Firecracker, we're on the same wave man!

"White collar conservative flashing down the street,
pointing their plastic finger at me,
They're hoping soon my kind will drop and die,
but I'm gonna to wave my freak flag high, high." (more If 6 was 9 Hendrix)
