The Benediction

The Benediction:

The Prince Frog leaked life as quietus was thrust upon his shoulders; Shadows striddle and the heads of the Cavalier watched, as faces stared twisted and ugly.

A call from Apollyon imposed, as the bones rotted growing stones, Yet the soul was beset and destroyed on the alter of the apostate amity.

In the Canaan Jungle arose a King, an Easter endemic; A crowned head for the Man of Sorrows, anointing the subjects below the Pillar.

Follow me and escape the Desert of Litany, savor the gifts in Bacchic frenzy; Never kneel, but kiss the ring, for I am the Frog King, and I can do anything.

  4. Well, Gabey, I see the response to the second posting of "The Benediction" has been overwhelming.

    Anyway, I was just wonderin'...

    Since this is supposedly a music/poetry/art/etc blog, maybe it would be OK if your followers posted their stuff here?

    (I'm hankerin' to record some music, maybe some Johnny Cash...)

    And while we're all waiting for your next magnum opus, I thought *I* would entertain y'all with some poetry...

    First, I'll stretch my poetic chops with a short poem...actually the world's shortest, called "Fleas"

    Fleas (by Ogden Nash)
    ---------------------
    Adam had 'em.


    Next, I delve into the historical public domain for a chestnut called "Peas with Honey."

    Peas with Honey (by Anonymous)
    ------------------------------
    I eat my peas with honey;
    I've done it all my life.
    It makes the peas taste funny,
    But it keeps them on the knife.

    Curiously enough, I think this gem is of English origin (those Brits are a crazy lot!)

    Finally, I will finish with an original work, the beloved "Boy From Nantucket."

    Boy From Nantucket (by WARPed Andy)
    -----------------------------------
    There once was a boy from Nantucket
    His head was the shape of a bucket
    He read Gabey's blog
    Now his brain's in a fog
    He so confused, he just says...
    ...SUCK IT!!!

    Thankfully, even mercifully, I will now turn my efforts back to my music (anybody like Barry Manilow?)

    I just wanted to demonstrate that I can open up a can of iambic pentameter-esque whup-ass on y'all, at any given time.

    Keep up the good work, Gabes.

    Love,

    -Andy
