HAVING DINNER

My friend said    why are you so up

I mean reality is a terrible down

look at the facts    right there in the pasta

you can see it    the plausible future boiled

once more in its own gas    the end    bad luck

for our time    bad luck for literature

our dear language back to planet pudding

Yes    it is a terrible down    they blame it

on that tree    that apple of all knowing

I would eat it again he said
