Excuse me Mr. Dillon, yes I know that you are chillin',
and I feel that though you tried... You let the world down?
Was it that your voice was too tight, your face Jewish scowl?
Was it that you were too good for sushi and a warm towel?
What was it Bob, I need to know, my cob is gone, my kids
have grown. The deed's been done, the crew-cuts won.
There are thing I know about key lime pie,
and Edie Sedgwick, but Bobby why?
Did you let your country down?
I guess it was their stupid frown,
and how they only love to beat
a pinata clown, too smart, pop art,
flaming fart, everyone get underground,
Look at the zoo... Monkies throw poo
Masturbate, women hate, get drunk
and kick the dog to the moon Alice...
Fuck the hippies, fuck your malice,
and fuck you Goth powdered punks
you cannot write, your tripe is bunk
yeah, I am the fucking devil,
a white intellectual Aaron Nevil.
And Leonard Cohen, another soft crooner
A Canadian version of a straight punky Brewster.
I have a free form most only dream of
I am the word, I am the blood bluff.
Pop art world
I want you now
to know you form
the golden cow
your idol is not
who you knew?
It is only merely
In the dance you do.

wow what a gr8 poem!
and such an interesting concept...i like the hatred you portray here and the counter-balance of the humour. it's a fine mix and it makes the poem sing!
thanks for sharing this excellent, quirky poem.
all the very best,
myron. -
yeah, it was just a messing around freeverse flex.
I'm actually very fond of practically everything I put
down. that's just the nature of the beast. thanks for having me. -
I think that one of the reasons I like this so much is that it conflicts with my views.. it's like a well-thought-out argument in a way, however hasty, in my mind, that is very intriguing. But it's got edge, and I like it-- it's so forceful and bitter that it has almost a sort of sarcastic persuasion to it.. and it is just cool. Especially the last stanza, wrapped it up nicely, and the part about the poo-flinging monkies and masturbation. Gnarly. Thanks for entering my contest.

I have just checked my e-mails to find that someone has called my mother a whore and my father a pimping paedophile. Must dash. No yellow clapping man for this one, sorry. You'll be dissing Claire next. Shame. Shame.

Myra sighs, throwing her arms into the air, rolling her eyes like her teenager son ... Bob Dillon? Bob Dylan? Bob Dylon? Whatever ... Thank heavens, "the dance you do" sometimes really is perfect ... but at times like this, I am dumbfounded ... Grrrrrrrr.
