EXPECTING MORE
Goat watches TV incognito.
The President is talking
about him. Johnny Carson
is talking about him.
Psychics everywhere contact
Elvis and ask about him.
Where is Goat? Why did
he do this? Where are
his manners? Everyone
expected something big & final.
But now you have to translate “Johnny Carson” for most readers.
We poets are becoming more and more historians, as I learned with the word “transistor.”
True! The world of late night TV is radically different now than it was thirty years ago. Back then you had Carson’s “Tonight Show” and after that “Late Night with David Letterman” and that was about it. The two shows did not even compete with one another for time. I do think that psychics still contact Elvis on a regular basis, though. I mean, that’s what he tells me, anyway…
On a more contemporary note, I appreciate your own regular posts from the Red Barn and your perspective. And while I am not much of a scarf-wearer I’ll take one over a tie anyday. Especially any cold day, when there’s snow to shovel.
Ah, your sympathy is greatly welcomed!
Now who can I channel while digging through the rest of that snow?
