All Comments on 'Monologue Boy'

I suspect Evelyn that the lack of comment on this poem is due to the political incorrectness of discusing vertically challenged men of sallow complexion with multi colored thighs.

Most of the comments on this site are from a conga line of suck holes who haven't got an opinion unless it has been preformed by someone else. Your work is challenging the mediocrity of the mafia of Annas, the Eves the Angelines and Laurens whose banal 'imagry'is so tediously obscure it's almost invisible. Not one of these, without looking over her shoulder for the second rate approval from her third rate clones has the gumption to even form a view on your work.Thus the silence. Keep it up and shove it up these self satisfied bores.

on the issue raised by the last comment. The reader is expected to understand that this is a period piece. Constable Pugh is likely to have slightly despised the Limehouse Chinese immigrants of the time. Therefore the racialism is conscious; but it is his racialism and not mine. Not only am I a strong opponent of racialism but I’m actually something of a Sinophile.

It is politically correct to right wrongs. Weasel words and tinkering with language helps no oppressed person; on the contrary it suppresses action. It is interesting to note that one of the most popular songs of this period contains the line: “Gentiles and Yids, bring up your kids on boiled beef and carrots.” No one at the time would have considered this in the slightest bit offensive. Now, pork! That would have been offensive.

it is an interesting story poem. I did notunderstand a lot of it until I read your explanation though, and thats why I only gave it a 4.
