“CREAMY SHIRLEY COFFEE!” 03/22/2018 Thor’s Day.

Surely, Shirley, you must know – this is JUST a poem,

It really has no rhyme-or-reason; it shines, but has no chrome!

It has no hidden meaning; it’s just some words to page,

And, if you “read too much” in it, you might just fall in (to a)

RAGE!

I had my friend, the other day, buy-me a COFFEE TREAT,

She brought with her A QUESTION,

[There’s-always-cream,

So Sweet:]

SHE said: “I’m not sure what IT means!”

And I wrote Her a note,

“Whatever are you talking of?” She said: “THAT poem you wrote!”

“Oooohhhhh,” I said; “WHATEVER! (pause)

THAT YOU THINK IT MEANS, IS, I’M SURE – THE MESSAGE – THERE’RE REDS AND BLUES AND GREENS! WHEN I WRITE THOSE BLASTED THINGS, I NEVER HAVE A CLUE, WHAT THEY’RE REALLY SAYING OR WHO I’M WRITING TO!

REALLY! WHEN THE WORDS COME OUT, I AM BARELY WRITING! I AM SIMPLY HOLDING-A-PEN – ISN’T THAT EXCITING?”

“Gosh,” she said; “ I was hoping – to-pin-down SOME DEEP THEME!”

“Sorry!” I went deep inside.

I LIKE YOUR CUP WITH CREAM!
