Louie Prima, Keely Smith
passionate stuff
poker-faced, stiff.
State Theater Hartford
& band’s half-
jazzy grit. From
Lou, then, too,
so falling to Fluff-Ghinny with
I eat my antipasto twice
just becuz she is so nice!
Second stringers in rankings then.
Like present, critics no fuckin clue!
Bye, ANGELINA!
But bring us one
with Mootz, Olive Oil and raw clams first!

The Academy Stamps You
talented! So, do as the other
boys and girls there and wait
out a dainty career. But let
you affect rebel in some
toying, inconsequential
aspect of technique then
critics pile on full
throated, and confreres
tut tut. Best to fess up to
goofy missteps, writhing
away from pincers.

Winslow Homer Never Finished
paintings, according to
critics and academics--
who glimpsed promise
nonetheless. They itch
universally
to finish art, rendering
it pretty
as the fussy wraps
of gifts from
frigid spinsters.
