Classic Poem

From Sinai to Killarney , a comic burst
with other harmonies and egopedes
wherein are found the shamrock and the redhead
and that beloved disjoint of merry woman,
lovely McCohen herself, the Lark

Behind the baritone is love's own cottage
where the misfits look out on the health
and blossomtime of Plymouth Rock.

McCohen smiled.
" What eyes, " lamented Jack,
" their shadowboxing interests me.
Will she speak in orphic with the eyes
of insight and the plasma of elation,
or the voice of analytic hesitation? "
The myth and good form leave her.
Look!
they fly like the Pacific golden plover
and laughter follows like a dying whale
