Poetry Month continues with a quick verse about a brand new backer named Richard, who joins us at the $1 Great Unwashed level. Richard has been very active on YouTube commenting on Nights Around a Table videos. His last name is Lalonde, which reminded me of when i worked with someone named Lalonde, who told me his dad was French, and his name was “Moe.”
And i lost it.
“Moe Lalonde” was one of the (inadvertently) funniest names i’d ever heard in my life. So Moe was my muse when i wrote this for Richard:
Where’s that Pull Cord?
Mowing the lawn with Richard Lalonde
Is fine, as long as it’s brief.
The weight of him rankles while holding his ankles
And clover gets stuck in his teeth.
