The Sun god is a chinese linguini, by Paul Wolborsky rev 2
The sun set in a sea dark like wine,
and in Alexandria it was dinnertime,
Caesar rendered unto Cleopatra
and Cleopatra made linguinis
which made Caesar very fatra.
Said Caesar, I conquer the land of the pharaohs
and now I look like Dom Deluise,
and she said oh oh spaghetti-ohs
and added extra cheese.
And Caesar started to make a joke,
like most Romeros, he was a joker,
but before he reached the punchline,
he choked on his wine…
-the grapes of the San Giobisi
is no cure for obesity-
and in the ruckus
Cleopatra asked ‘Was that a cutis interruptus-’
he called her a pain in the asp
in a voice full of rasp
and she said ‘don’t cleopatronize me!
I’m not just a little girl I’m a Ptolemy
in fact I’m not just any Ptolemy
nor just another pretty Ptolemy
I’m the epitome of a Ptolemy!’
and Caesar said, you just tole me
you’re 4 times a Ptolemy with a P and a T,
Cleopatra said, 4 times make a fork,
and now it’s time to eat.
Caesar asked, I don’t want to seem a fooldle
but what exactly is a noodle?
And Cleopatra said, “Well, we have a god named Ra-”
“Ra?”
“Sis boom bah, the god of the sun…”
“Ra, Sun, honey-bun?”
“Ra is the top god, and we say-”
“Amen-”
“hotep we pray and when
“we pray, we pray
“to the top Ra, Amen!”
“Since I am the top Roman,
Can I hold a candle to the top Raman?”
“Baby,” she growled, “you got an empire
that sets my heart on fire”
so Cleopatra and Caesar knew the noodle
and the sun set on an empire
and Ptolemy gave birth to ptitaly
now known as Italy
and whenever you shall roam
have some Ravioli,
or any other noodle,
while in Rome, do as the Ramen doodle.

“Kopi Luwak”
Kopi Luwak is a cup of joe
to put to shame Edgar Allen Poe
it comes from the straits of java
the Came-latte of coffee lavas
in jungles most excrutable
is a curious creature most inscrutable
is it a he, is it a she
is it a bird or is it a bee
is it a cat or a monkey
or an elephant or a donkey?
when it goes, nobody really knows,
if it runs by toes or nose,
but when nothing else we can claim,
we can still give it a name.
It’s name is paradoxunis hermaphroditus
and when it doesn’t want to bite us
it thinks coffee beans are neatable
and we prefer its excretables
and with our perilious grounds
we find outselves homeward bound
and in coffeehouse and jailhouse civilized
we bring you the coffee most prized
by the pound or by the grain
you’ll gladly pay for our pains
there is no coffee more keen,
than the bean,
from the scat,
of a monkey-cat.

this is a stream of consciousness, this is an ice cream of consciousness. I am conscious, therefore I stream,
I am conscience therefore I scream. I am he, the world
revolves around me. You are you, the world revolves around you.
The world can’t revolve around each of us at the same time. I say
this is my world. You’re revolving around me. Me? I just happen
to be spinning. Ha! I spin because I want to. Like a bottle rocket,
I never miss. I point at you and I get a kiss.
I am he,
the world revolves around me.
You are you,
does it revolve around you too?
no you’re lyin’, this world is mine!
It can’t revolve round the both of us at the same time!
You’re revolving around me, true?
You say I’m spinning,
so you must be revolving,
such an accusation is revolting,
I’m spinning
because I want to.
do you think life is a mystery
bordering on hystery?
the universe
is even worse.
The big bang grew and grew
yet it’s the same size
black holes glow in the dark
but not in the night sky
entropy is the zen trophy
heat sinking, beats thinking
In matters aeronautical
I’m rather ignorimical
but when it comes to psychology
I’m an expert at analogy
as my plane descended into Florida
I walked a narrow corrida
and sat in the lavatory
and feeling chilly air beneath me
for a brief moment of glory
I mooned Miami
Stephen Foster and Al Jolson on the road to Calcutta
Bombay ladies sing this song,
calcootah calcootah
Bombay racetrack five samris long
cha garoo di vey
all through the night
cha garoo di vey
bet my dinaris on a bobtailed cow
and lost my sarong
I’ve been riding on the railroad
cha garoo di vey
I’ve dreamed of a d’jinni
with a light brahmin hair
I’m a swami
in love with my mammy
so cook me a banana
and send me back to Savannah
where finally you deliver
me to the Swanee river
Ode to a modern woman
Will Shakespeare for food, by Paul Wolborsky (c)2001
They say the road to riches
await all who hold their own britches
fancy cars, houses by the Long Island Sound
fly by jet, the world is your playground
fame and notoriety galore
toasted shrimp-brains in Bangalor
champagne by Moet
all those await not a poet!
A lucky poet can scrape up a dime
with each rhyme
and score a fancy meter
without robbing Peter.
Especially a short-order Poet’s verse,
which is particularly, fiscally averse,
the objective of his art is the curse,
for terse verse perverse unfills the purse,
Brevity is the soul of wit
unless you’re paid by the word.
If you’re a poet, you owe it,
you live by the word, you die by the word
and only when buried in a pauper’s grave
do your words finally get rave
then take comfort though ye be a gonah
your verse will be pursed in the lips of Madonna.
