The Witness
The bell rings
God’s love in new shoes
none for me.

Autumn
Dancing leaf
Red spinning joyful
lead my heart

Winter
My tongue out
some flakes find rest there
taste winter

Spring
Green buds bloom
sea of life brings waves
wash my soul


Summer
Yellow globe
heat the ground below
thirsty men
 
Hormel buys Seuss' rights.
Revised children's book hits stores:
"Eat Green Eggs and SPAM."

Do SPAMs reproduce?
Not unless you wash off the
Spamicidal gel.

SPAM is big in Greece.
With filo dough, feta, for
Spamakopita.

Italy loves SPAM.
They make a drink with it called
"Asti Spamati."

Spock takes a small piece.
It's elastic, rubbery.
It is vulcanized.

Pat Benatar fell.
The stage was too slippery
From her spamdex suit.

Jack wants to father.
But why eat so much SPAM, Jack?
"My spam count is low."
