In a former incarnation
in a European nation...
Paul Peaux did pose–
vest-to-nose–
with a hound named
FoundFame
Carol, then 10 years old,
to Parrain, the marble rolled
Parrain did carve and mold...
Imagination takes hold
Time travel is fun–a game of chance
where you do the calendar dance
with friends, artists, uncles or aunts
Thus we visit 19th Century France
To translate Parrain
I'll save you the bother
It is French for Godfather
Time travel is pure play-act
But now I must respect fact:
THE CROWN PRINCE
AND HIS DOG, NERO
(1865)
JEAN BAPTISTE CARPEAUX
(1827-1875)
The artist's name rhymes with Harpo

Travel closer to
ReplyDeleteAlgonquin's table
For a glimpse
Of the fabled
Faces with their quips
Rolling off their
Clever lips
Waiting for the dawn.
...Waiting for Dawn Powell, that is, to refill thier cups
ReplyDeletewhen all the quips are gone
Or never showed up!
ReplyDeleteEither way, she never got credited
ReplyDeletefor all her quips that supposedly came from
Dorothy Parker!
