the most imitated.
some say there will
never be another again.
great challenge in those words.
i'll try it, though i could suck.
it begins here:
I put a handful of
black pepper directly under
the president's nose.
the intent is to get
a real nice reaction.
i have probable cause
of what might occur.
i'm starting to see an effect
upon his eyes; teary - they look.
it's about to happen - eyes squint
and the head starts to drop a tad.
i think he's hesitant - trying to show constraint
like a true conservative ought to be.
the black pepper has worked.
he finally sneezes -
major flow runs from his nose.
i was right - it was - black humor.
don't know if it sucked though.

LeBrozover 17 years agoGood one, Don.
And I bet it was not a simple straight write;
You don't get this kind of effect like that,
You sweat over every word for hours on end till it only seems to have been rattled off spontaneously.
twelveoonealmost 19 years ago-fuck bukowski
what in the hell are you trying to say?
but then...
he did write some pretty funny stuff
you do to
I knocked you down -25 for invoking the holy name of that bottle dropping ahole in the title, but you made up the points.
I see you setting up an interesting rhytm lately, it is like a stand-up comic's patter, I am surprised S_ hasn't come along and told you put it in quatrains or some shit.
Tathagataalmost 19 years agoto being like Bukowski is not the drinking.
It's understanding, and not understanding, and being honest about both.
His work looks like he just dashes it off...but the more you write, the more you can see the work that goes into his stuff.
Bare your soul with no hesitation, no shame, and the words take on a truth and power you can't make up.
All that being said...this is a really nice effort.
Keep it up
