Bon Appetit

"Marlon Brando loves dark women, because he can't see them." --Jane, mental patient

"Children are the only ones who blush." --Lou Reed

The poissonier said to Marcel Proust,
"It isn't always about you.
I've got my own fish to fry."

Nemesis said to Narcissus,
"Get over yourself.
Eat those feewings, and stay out of the water.

Mott the Hoople met a frog and a local beauty for lunch,
and Pharaoh Menes came all the way from Memphis.
The menu was all-natural,
but none of them much liked being told to eat shit.

  2. Know how many times I've told someone to get over themselves. There are a lot of people who think they are better than everyone else. Really annoys me when I meet people like this.

  5. The first Mott the Hoople song I was unfamiliar with...The second one I knew well (didn't remember that was the title) and made me go zooming back four (yikes!) decades.

  8. I can't imagine a better way to open a poem than by quoting a mental patient. Nor can I imagine a better way to close a poem than you have here.

  9. So tried to listen to the music - maybe he should have stuck to writing lyrics and not singing them? (sorry)…

    Sometimes mental patients can be spot on… I really do like opening poems with quotes.

    … and Narcissus - do people like this ever take advice?

  10. I'm sure those sly references went over my head … I'm just not educated enough ;P
