Alright, before you read this double dactyl series about the life of John F. Kennedy, you might want to open that link to his wikipedia page that I just linked to. I definitely had it open when I wrote it.
Porcelain Dorcelain
Young Mister Kennedy
Blew up a toilet seat
Mucker, indeed
Ultra-traditional
Elders rebuked him — he
Got the last laugh to most
Likely succeed
Addison Baddison
Junior-Grade Kennedy
Boat cut in half by the
Heavenly Mist
Teeth tugged a man, with grip
Monomaniacal
One more day marked off his
Calendar list
Mafia Scoffia
Senator Kennedy
Almost on ballot with
Stevenson (Two)
Thoughts toward McCarthy were
Non-confrontational;
Liberals dismissed him to
Find something new
Jickety Jackety
Johnson and Kennedy
Fighting a crook who kept
Acting irate
People thought Nixon looked
Uncomplimentary
Thus the TV really
Won the debate
Phantama Mantrana
President Kennedy
Asked what a person for
Country could do
Since he had taste for girls
Extracurricular
Ladies, he’s probably
Looking at you
Ominous Bombinous
Citizen Kennedy
Spoke at the Wall during
Communist rule
Cynics claim faux pas, but
Lexicographical
Research can prove them all
Jelly-filled fools
Jiggery Pokery
Khrushchev v. Kennedy
Led to invasions and
Crises, with pig
Faced with a future of
Anti-establishment,
Both took a fig leaf and
Got a new gig
Higgledy Piggledy
Old Mister Kennedy
Just forty-six on that
Warm Dallas day
Suddenly, bullets burst
Kleptomaniacal
Not a thing funny, no
More left to say.
I’m posting this today because it’s the anniversary of the Bay of Pigs Invasion (which I mentioned somewhere in there) and… hmmm… well, I’m certain there’s another reason why I chose April 17 to put up one of my better long poems, but I just can’t put my finger on it….
