Lewis Carroll
Acrostic
"Are you deaf, Father William!" the young man said,
"Did you hear what I told you just now?
"Excuse me for shouting! Don't waggle your head
"Like a blundering, sleepy old cow!
"A little maid dwelling in Wallington Town,
"Is my friend, so I beg to remark:
"Do you think she'd be pleased if a book were sent down
"Entitled 'The Hunt of the Snark?'"
"Pack it up in brown paper!" the old man cried,
"And seal it with olive-and-dove.
"I command you to do it!" he added with pride,
"Nor forget, my good fellow to send her beside
"Easter Greetings, and give her my love."

Mey K.
The President
"Good god, my dear daddy!", G.W. whined,
"Everyone say I'm president now!
On the DAY they'd find out that I ain't got a mind!
Rescue me, dad! I'm having a cow!
Golly, I don't know nothin' 'bout politics, dad,
Except bad-mouthing Al Gore and all.
Will you please tell me how I could run this darn land?
Bright I ain't, and I sure have no balls!"
Uttered Bush Senior, "Georgie, you have to play cool -
See, I want a wee fame if I croak...
Hide few truths (Lie, G.W.! We're dirt, see?), don't drool,
Joke, kill few lowlifes, fight for power - and, last rule:
Remember, son: don't indorse Coke!"

Virginia Clemm Poe
Valentine to Edgar Allan Poe
Ever with thee I wish to roam -
Dearest my life is thine.
Give me a cottage for my home
And a rich old cypress vine,
Removed from the world with its sin and care
And the tattling of many tongues.
Love alone shall guide us when we are there -
Love shall heal my weakened lungs;
And Oh, the tranquil hours we'll spend,
Never wishing that others may see!
Perfect ease we'll enjoy, without thinking to lend
Ourselves to the world and its glee -
Ever peaceful and blissful we'll be.

Mey K., The Suave Poet
Lyric-Weave, A Glum Survey:
Give The Pitiful Climate-View of The Late Eve
More than three scores ago, was born
A little girl called Norma Jean
Raised low and tight, and then forlorn
I'm stunned she reached her teens.
Lean and nubile, she posed for fame,
Yet whole and well she didn't feel.
Norma waived, gave up the old name -
*Marilyn M.* got deals.
On she went to receive world love
New pals, reviews, white sheets, white pills...
Realising it's not enough -
Oh, dying quickly, she thought of
Eternal Norma still.
