Humankind
The Fruits of Your Mind
Humankind
having ample
exemplars to sample
Hath deemed the fruits of your mind
void of substance
subsurface to rind.
Your comments were unkind
shortsighted, short of blind.
Your cognition must be lead lined.
Your conscience must have been resigned.
You’re deadweight,
and long ago
should have become
bilge, cut bait, jetsam, chum.

My opinion column garnered more reader responses than any other contributor in the paper's 40-year run. As a stand-up comic, I performed in 16 countries & 26 states. I've written 2 one-man shows, umpteen poems, songs, essays & chronologies.

"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
