The kings Ding Ditch

The peasants english Classy ya classless dou-gee Border leaks appetitè¹ ___________ NOTES: 1. French so it may be misspelled or improper emphasis (see symbol: " è "). They're known periodically to trash their language so . . . better check! Too bad I failed the haiku's (5-7-5 syllable) single respected Euro-Trash rule again! My new found new world Caribbean identity doesn't give a flying "Fudge" (New-World, High-Class, Coco Cuisine dish)! Yours in periocity: Lingua Lumes

I don't give a fudge either. Who cares if you are one syllable off. I guess you are in England? Doesn't sound American .but maybe if you like Dylan, are you Welsh? My Mom's side is almost completely Welsh.

I'm a New Yawka of Puerto Rican (half indigenous - "Hispanic" ) and Cuban extraction; witness and participant of the counterculture's (Woodstock ~ SDS college Vietnam war protests ~ LSD consuming "Freak" 's )) "Revolution"! Born, one of seven, in "The Ghetto" yet, able to "Spic" The King's English as well as that Rummy poetic forbear who " . . . sang in [his] chains like the sea" (Fr.: "Fern Hill"). ~~ You may place the blame squarely on Jeffersonian "Free Librarys" (not Rum) for my guerrilla linguistic subversions! ~~ I've seen "The American Dream" from both sides, making me uniquely able to "Speak Truth To Power", that ". . . Stuff Of Which Poetry Is Made"! ~~~ Much love and thanks dear friend.

In the new world, the derogation: "Frangipani" means a guy's kids don't look like him suggesting his wife is playing hide the salami at night with others in the village! ¿Pure invention?
