Wordgrove Post & Review

Quoted in the Grove
Nothing is impossible to gods and authors.
~Will Durant

The artist must be in his work as God is in creation, invisible and all-powerful; one must sense him everywhere but never see him.
~Flaubert

God forgives those who invent what they need.
~Lillian Hellman

Irony used in argument can backfire. Irony in comedy can hit the sweet spot. A case in point: JP Sears defends oil companies @Standing Rock

Prewritten: outlaw, quirky

~Greymane: Waffles and Brandy
(from: 11/17 – frowzy, bamboo)

Waffles and Brandy had painted the sand
with tails they dipped in the sea
A tapestral masterpiece carefully planned
by chimps who could never agree

They painted a mural across the lagoon
reflecting the silent night sky
The mystical monkeys would mourn for the moon
with a chimpanzee tear in their eye

They gathered from jungly places unknown
and forests that nobody knew
From cavernous canopies long overgrown
and castles they built from bamboo

They formed an alliance concerning them all
from marmoset clear to baboon
They were in this together until the stars fall
and the sky had turned loose of the moon

They built up a kingdom of nonsense and stink
A paradise primates request
But every last monkey was missing a link
Cos monkeys are frowzy at best

The monkeys were crazy, as monkeys can be
and went just a little too far
and as mentioned before monkeys seldom agree
except when they stare at the stars

So Waffles and Brandy repainted the sky
to look a bit more like the land
and all of the monkeys said tearful goodbyes
to all of the mayhem they’d planned

Of monkeys and kingdoms in painted lagoons
not fit for gorilla or beast
To sit in the sand and gaze up at the moon
is fancy for monkeys at least

Impromptu: outlaw, quirk

~Piffin: “Katy Kangaroo”

Quirky little kangaroo
Kangaroo
Kangaroo
Quirky little kangaroo
With little boxing arms
Blowing a didgeridoo
Didgeridoo
Didgeridoo
Blowing a didgeridoo
The outlaw of the farms

~Greymane: Wafting

There’s a llama by the mailbox
He lives with painted horse
They live alone on lonely land
that golfers used to coarse

Across the road a quirky man
sells birds that never sleep
Sunmae lives just up the road
and shares his goats and sheep

Then Mr. Bolt and then there’s Dan
A outlaw growing green
It wafts up to my deck at night,
His crop I’ve never seen
