Arty is artistic:
a Minx cat jumps
off a balcony
a trash-man runs
picks up cat
stuffs it in a sack
as Arty's
painting on oil
in a split duration
as Arty paints
Hanan and Fiona
sit on a trunk
play canasta
drink gin
MacDraw has an anthrax attack
in his hatchback
a girl shops at a mall
buying a wristwatch and afghans
condoms and skin lotion
caps and dog biscuits
and a girl grabs
a guy's balls
and wanks his shaft
a cork pops
Arty asks:
What carnal acts can a man transact?
as a clasp snaps apart
and a scant shawl falls
all this in Arty's
painting in oil

It was entertaining and enjoyable to read this little slice of life poem. I didn't notice that it didn't have any 'e's.
Thanks again ,Gregg, for taking time to read and comment on my work. It's greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,

Zola: Thank you for the comment on Arty: It is one of my whimsical poems where I tried not to use the Letter E throughout the whole poem and still try to make it sound coherent.

awesome
This speaks about a million events, all uniquely amassed into one awesome poem...strange how the world moves when half of it is experiencing so many wrongs...
Excellent job, look forward to reading more of your work.
