When I write about
the grandeur, the mystery
the infinite grace of God,
I get few, if any, comments.

When I write about
the miscreant misadventures
of trying to feed
my aberrant, twisted penis,
these poems are very popular,

which just goes to prove
the writer’s first rule:

write about

what
you
know.

Hi Maggie and Tiko (et.al.)

Thanks for your thoughts on the re-write / re-structure.  You may be right, as my instincts tend to be more toward the stand-up comic than then poet, it's hard to resist a punchline.

Thanks again- Moskowitz
