A poem a day in April from Rutgers English PhD students and friends.

A Pirate's Kindness

the ballsiest guy on the 6th floor

tries on a new tonal tweak

'it's part of my PRO-cess!'

there is no 'me' in mean

there is no rain in California

los angeles SELLS AN EGO

anagramtastical-ociously

everyone told him,

'you only have one ear;

you can't be a great

artist' and he replied,

'I can't hear you!'

    Sooooo, most of these lines were stolen from the mediocre movie DINNER FOR SCHMUCKS. Plus one by Frank O'Hara. Plus three by me. The title comes from Gary Busey on CELEBRITY APPRENTICE.

    ha ha ha ha I did not recognize any of these lines even though I totally kind of enjoyed Dinner for Schmucks. Mostly because of Jemaine and his animals.

    Are these by you? I can't imagine them being in the movie but maybe I can:

    "there is no rain" is O'Hara, and then I realized there WAS 'rain' in CA, as in the letters r, a, i, n, hence the next two lines by me! that's a pretty sweet Los Angeles anagram, right? I used the "your name's best anagram" site of Facebook fame.
