hi tech

        i've written a few R-rated poems

        the kindergarten instructors are advised

        to skip some words i've used

        when reciting my R-poems for students or parents



        but now a friend of mine

        from the depths of his shallow depression

        gives me a dime

        to write a crass poem



        i have a notion or two

        how to go about IT



        "IT" is the key

        to be crass my poem will have to be generic

        my characters should have no character

        they should use the baby talk

        loaded with nothing but pronouns

        like in some rock&roll

        songs about "losing control"



                - Give it baby, give it hot

                - Take it baby, take it hard

                - Give it to me, give it nice

                - Take it baby, take it twice



        to go beyond it means

        to uncover in some detail

        the anatomy and physiology

        covered in the anatomy & physiology

        textbooks



        there are traps

        people have observed

        the similarities and differences

        between the two halves of an ass

        and of the Universe

        the result was humorous not crass



        or think about making love

        on a table next to the open window

        tall buildings seen between her spread legs

        like she was delivering the city



        it will take discipline

        to write a crass poem

        but i'll manage

        i'll program my computer
