about

this is one sonnet (songnet) from 155 of them in a volume called All of Love . . . some of these sonnets appeared in a book called Here On Earth!

lyrics

The Academy of American Fidgets has just announced the winner
Of the Imogene Hopkins Stuart Malfeasance III Award
For Carrying a fish with clamped feet over the Brootkins Institute.
Mary Mary Mary Quiet has swallowed a canary
And was first hand-standing over the Institute while
Her feet held a Brooklyn trout. At the other end
The honorary board members of the A of A Fidgets
Nervously docked her only one report for having not been
From Latvia. The University there is seen to be the
Primary Institute for fish-jumping, standing on hands,
And catching diseased trout. But Mary Mary Mary
Quiet did graduate with beaucoups des honors from
The Numbskull Apparatus Part-fixing Academy in
Why Lean? Arkansas, a first, and we hope, a last.
