[hometext] => Any rag man will understand
my problems A stinkpotter won't [bodytext] => At a point seven miles from Sandy Hook Bay The Shrewsbury and the Navasink meet, From the Shrewsbury River starts the Navasink River heading south for 'bout five thousand feet. The Navasink's average is twenty feet wide deep enough for a megayacht, At all times it's chancy, and weedy..not fancy and is lovingly entitled, 'The Slot'. Brookes climbed up Everest, Lindbergh to Paris, People extoled, like as not, but neither do rate a thing that's as great, as taking a sloop down the 'Slot'. I started one day, I refused to delay, I filled my gas tank to the top, No intention to dicker with my two horse kicker It's there if my sloop slips in slop. Well, fast off I went. You might say, t'was hell-bent with my sloop running south at apace, a duck passing by kind of gave me the eye which told me he wanted to race. It was bow and bill, we were close, yes, until We rounded a bend in the 'Slot', The wind went to front I figured I'd punt, And the duck stold a lead like a shot. What was really a blow, the ducklings in tow Made me want to let sloop sink or rot. No. I didn't win with shame and chagrin The ducklings beat sloop to the spot, As it now appears, my sloop's in arrears buy!..if you think you're so hot, For me..no more vying For me..no more trying to best the taunt of the 'Slot'.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
