Woodworm


from the ABC set

Isn't it funny?
The worms emerge
from the rotten wood.
Who knows how much
Madoff made off with?

Doesn't Standford know
it just isn't
cricket? A pyramid
is a stable
structure. What a laugh!

Haven't we fallen
for it again?
These modern Merdles blow
their bubbles in
our reddened faces.

It's a bad, bad world, as Skunk has taught us.

Yes, but like all dreadfully naive people, I am always disappointed to learn that lesson again.

Nice, topical piece. The trouble is, Ewan, that we refuse to believe that lightining can strike twice.

Very nice. It's an endless cycle. Or is it? Maybe we are just highly evolved lemmings.
