Poem Number 18
Listen here, you little spook,
I've had enough of your shenanigans
Most positively; you're a kook.
At best, you're probably just a hooligan!
You sneak and skulk and lurk and hide,
In every nook 'n cranny and salon.
And tho your path is far and wide.
I, one day, will pick your little melon.
~~~~~~~
I've looked in every corner,
But I see no one who's lurking;
Perhaps it's just a symptom
That the meds you take aren't working?
Nary a spook does this monkey see,
Or can it be
you refer to -me-?????
--
I have not a jot of expertise,
To answer such intense queries,
But in my limited experience, sir,
I've seen no ghouls with monkey fur.
It could be that my quadrennial
Bouts with paranoid schizophrenia-l
Have returned. I seem to see
The very first lines were writen by ME.
But, praytell, how can it be?
I barely have ONE personality!
Surely not stuff enough for two!
(Or does that make it three??)

My God, 'twas bad enough when I was seeing double.
I'm truly in a pickle!And now knee deep in trouble,
The yellow little poltergiest is of the sneaky kind.
It has no nerve to face you. It slithers up behind.
It utters things like, "Hi there ME, this is me."
I'm not *too* confused! For in the mirror I still see
MY toes, my belly, my lovely chest and head.
Right now that apparation is lucky that he's dead.
As for personalities, js, you suggested three.
I hope that's the sum, you see, I can barely handle I, myself and me.
--
A yellow little poltergeist? Well bless my fanny!
Thou, ME, (or is it thee?), are stalked by a bananny!
___
I, me, and myself have been off spook hunting.
Me thinks at one point I heard it grunting
I do doubt it was a bananny though,
'Cause, every fruit I've ever known
Has done their grunting in a closet.
Except, of course, for Farah Faucet.


Commentary:
Apparition, oh well I suppose I got the meaning across.:)
-------
ME, where did you first meet this apparition? Go there.
-------
I know, I know! Fisrt it's "schizophrenia-l," then it's "bananny." *sigh* Samuel Johnson would have my head on a platter... :)--js
-------
You had better not be a goose and this had better not been some wild
goose chase!

Saurrrrrrrry Farah,darling. Bernhardt just wouldn't rhyme. ME
