Little Miss Muffit Sat on a tuffet
Reading a book on Marx
Along came a man with a gun in his hand
And instantly there were sparks
Said the man, it it right, for all day and night,
Such things for girls to be reading?
My girl you've not heard of Russia in fright?
And known all the folks who are bleeding?
Becaue they were too foolish to see
That communist theory is crap?
My girl if you read that I'm sure you'll agree
All these red bastards need is a slap!
But little Miss Muffit was not so easy to change
The mans words, her mind, did not sway
And she shrugged and said, 'it isn't so strange'
And went back to curds and her whey
Said she, Marx and Lennon may have picked a lemon
So'd Hitler and Bush and Che
But if you wish to use violence to make my minds silence,
Then we'll never find a new way
So put down your gun and don't be so glum
Cheer up and read books on your shelf
For it's time you unfurled the ideas of the world
And started to think for yourself

I admire your honesty.
I always have. ***
Should have told you before. ***
Plus I love poetry.
Always have.
Used to write some. ***
But one thing I love more than poetry itself?
(Not my greatest love. She's ... ) ***

sub.
Masterful.
Poetic.
Brilliant. (I'm a pseudo-plagiarist). ***
Your poem?
Got it.
Loved it. Like I mean really loved it!
More please.

It's my passport pic. That's the real me.

It reminded me instantly, of all the arguments I've had with my father... years and years of clashing opinions and temprament ... soon to be set free ...
For me ...a wonderfully liberating poem...
...beautifully written, as always...
