For legal reasons, and because of a padlock you cant name names on the other thread - but nothing to stop you here if the poetry overwhelms you.

Call the roller of big cigars,
The muscular one, and bid him whip
In kitchen cups concupiscent curds.
Let the wenches dawdle in such dress
As they are used to wear, and let the boys
Bring flowers in last month's newspapers.
Let be be finale of seem.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.

Take from the dresser of deal,
Lacking the three glass knobs, that sheet
On which she embroidered fantails once
And spread it so as to cover her face.
If her horny feet protrude, they come
To show how cold she is, and dumb.
Let the lamp affix its beam.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.

You can't say anything in this forum without the thread being locked, unless it has to do with drinking in LKF or saying which apartment complex is your favourite in HK.

Actually you can get away with murder [almost] if our dear administrator is not in one of his monthly trigger happy moods.

Thanks for the links Kombucha.
For a non native speaker with an average knowledge of English the poems of Mr. Wallace are not easy to understand. But are interesting indeed.

That part about "the roller of big cigars / the muscular one" made me think of Arnold Schwarzenegger, since he's a cigar aficionado and a former Mr. Olympia and all...

Well boyo not quite the name I meant...here is one more to contemplate



Ladies and gentlemen, hobos and tramps,
Bug-eyed mosquitoes and bow-legged ants,
I'll tell you a story I've not heard before,
So pull up a chair and sit on the floor.
Admission is free, so pay at the door.

One fine day, in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys got up for a fight.
Back to back, they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot one another.
A deaf policeman heard the noise,
And saved the lives of the two dead boys.
If you don't believe my lies are true,
Just ask the blind man, he saw it too!

I have this inexplicable urge to post this, not only for the benefit of our non native speaker, but also in honour of the unknown 'top banker'.
