Canto VI: OUR BAY
(Guanabara, San Francisco or Fundy...it all depends on who "our" refers to.)
(a work in progress)
Poet Poe pens nonsense verse. "...plus phun," puns Uly, "I disburse." Its gamut runs from spam to worse. The matter posted...? Poe's diverse -- most, postcards from his universe, replies to grudges he must nurse. My summary...? Let me be terse: a mitzva, mostly. (Not a curse.)

The Idylls of Ubu, Canto IV: YORUBA
Canto IV: YORUBA
Your Ma's Yoruba...? Good for her! My Ma's Heruba, that's for sure.
And as for me...? Myruba, pure. Our two Ourubas we endure.
Do we embrace Theiruba...? No! Now, Ándale! Arriba!! Go!!!
Our furlough in Aruba's due...nay: overdue! I'm psych'd. (Aren't you...?)
