"John Travolta mayday,
John Travolta mayday."
There's one more parachute,
and the flight attendants have gone gravy
The masks have all dropped,
and it's not even payday.
Seatbelt signs have been activated
"John Travolta mayday!"
The top of the plane has become perforated
There goes my old-lady, up and out dated.
Therefore, let's subject verb agreement,
"John Travolta mayday."
I should have never flown
Never flown with you
But what was one more Saturday night fever?
One more Vinnie Barbarino hair do?
"John Travolta mayday;
this is the last time I will ever fly this new
Upon your sweaty well dressed kangaroo,
Or on board Olympus airlines.
Where the gods must be crazy"
Hey, Zeus has disco balls
in an assortment of styles
I haven't seen my luggage
in an awfully long while
And... "John Travolta mayday!"
Lots of blue water, but no stalls
And disco's just that chevalier
With a Nicholas Cage lobotomy.
Anyone for... Parcheezie?
Then a perfect 25 ton swan
dive from half a mile up.
The best part of waking up?

heh - as my sister would say. You're definitely a rare commodity. I love your style - witty, unique, very cultural - I think that's the most interesting aspect of your poetry. I love the last line, your use of an elipsis. Though a little above my head, it was very entertaining.

hahaha, yes, please continue to entertain before i die of laughter and the irony of dying laughing.
this is the last time I will ever fly this new
Upon your sweaty well dressed kangaroo,
very good! -
You're one of the few guys I know that can mix contemporary writing with the classics (and that can do it well!). And your title - what an antithesis!
I will not be honest if I claim I understand the whole piece. But I will be very honest if I say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. Do continue to entertain us, my friend. -
I just wish i had access to the same drugs you do.

I have no idea what the underlying message was .. but it was fun and parts of it made me laugh..
Keep penning

(smiles) This is a great fun piece to read. I must admit i had no idea what to expect when i saw the title. Nice rhythm to it, and even thought it makes no sense to me really, it does in an odd way...I dont know how to explain myself very well.
lol,
Good write!
*~~MF~~* -
Had to see how you combined the mythological Zeus with a carnal knowledge...Well, you certainly did it
This doesn't rock me as much as it will some. Depends on who it's pointed at. Very culty and with it! I must say you've got a way with that lingo.

Boogies!
Another wild ride on Horus8's Wings of Adventure ... and this one looks like a doozy (I have never seen a floozy that woozy except in a disco and, I in my off-white polyester, swept forward to save her from certain disaster.) Whoops....I've gone all giddy from lack of O2.
Favorite soundtrack - "Thank God It's Friday". So shoot me. No wait...I recant - it's really "Rocky Horror", but TGIF is #2.
This is weird, wild and wooly - kind of like the suit you had to wear to confirmation (unless you got to wear the dress - Bride of Christ (I saw that movie)). This is pop-rock poetry at the height of the disco era and I think I could dance to it if I were drunk enough.
I don't understand the essential underlying message, but so what? I like the television it produces in my head and that's all that's important in this advertising age (sponsored by Folgers).
This rocks my socks. I'm gonna go boogie a bit because you have the best dance floor in the valley. -
Your fucking adorable even in your odd way to write a poem you are oddly amusing in a well odd way, and i'll never get enough of it...well i might but not anytime soon.You know your just a freak of nature and i like every minute i talk to u...see ya choder great poem.
