Language
Jorge dreamt jagged visions.
Which harrowed him till noon.
He then carried on his appointments
until late dinner. Which was quite
late in Barcelona.
Spanish the preferred language there.
He also possessed Oxford English,
and spent a vacation July there yearly.
Joining the same discussion group,
which had lost the thread after
the war. And most members by now.
He always arranged to meet a few
remaining for punting on Thames.
Which dappled pleasure he loved.
No one ever showed, so he methodically
destroyed his straw boater.
Back to Spain to finely mince Corporate Law.
Married?
Surprise! American! She hits familiar Jersey City
for her July. Junk Stores.

The Existence of the Chinese Palindrome
“Is there even such a a thing?” asks Marcy Chang of
Hong Kong TV, after A man, a plan, a canal--Panama!
Mr ‘Mystery’ replied by smiling. He proved more forthcoming
about the other mottos and proverbs lining his wall.
He translated the one in Spanish to English and to Chinese.
He who is bent on revenge should dig two graves.
“Are there any fun ones?”
“Not really. Some quite grim, but most inspirational in the
American style.”
Every day in every way I'm getting better and better!
Her audience liked that sort of thing the best, so she
pressed sweetly.
But Mr Mystery said that proverb very nearly ended
his life. He had destroyed a previous room because of
his inability to live up to it.
“That much passion! If you'll excuse my saying so, you
don't look...”
“There had been some drinking.”
“And is there now?”
“None! A day at a time.”
“Are you AA?”
“No, but Mr Mystery is.”
A fire in Kowloon, so Marcy had to wrap it up.

The Owner
The mayor begged, so he drove one of the Lincoln
convertibles in the victory parade.
The baseball champs were merely minor league,
but tell that to the crowd!
Each back seat held two players, and in the passenger seat a civic stalwart.
Except in his case he somehow got the Catcher’s voluble Dominican wife,
who showered him with Spanish and kisses-–TV cameraman running alongside.
“Please,” he implored--though not much could happen
at ten miles an hour--“me honcho automobile. No safe!”
“Si si si!” and kept kissing him.
When the parade ended, he got to his company.
Bonnie, Prince, and Charlie were fielding calls.
Charlie saying "Mr Higgins, how are you?
More to the point, how’s that daughter
who wins all the prizes? Listen, I just
have to take a few seconds to straighten
out this hysteric on the other line.
So, please hold. A few seconds guaranteed!"
A 100% from the boss on that one. Make it personal
and light, the first commandment.
He found out, too, that Prince and Bonnie had
fielded some new business.
So all had gone well with the Royal Trio.
Upon going to bed that night, Carrie laughed
"You were smooching it up pretty good with
Conchita Fireball!"
"She wouldn't leave me alone!"
"Corky and Mickey on the sports show claim
the video could go viral."
"Hope not! I probably look silly."
"Of course you do! And it's a good thing."
"Uh...could I take two Zantacs? They're only 75s."
"Yeah, be daring."

Learn Spanish? What For?
Talk to a few guys outside
7-11? Or little brown ants
crawling construction sites?
But bound forward 5-10 years.
Learn Spanish to be clear-
er to your boss & insinuate
yourself to the Ruling Class.
