  HI, MYSTIC POET FANS! IT'S ME!  IT'S ME, THE SON,

I'M WRITING ABOUT THE LAST 24 HOURS!  IT'S NOTBEEN A LOT OF FUN!

I'M NOW IN PRISON, AWAITING HERE - MY CERTAIN EXECUTION,

WE'LL START YOU OFF AT 200 "THOU," TO REALLY "UP YOUR CALORIE!"**

 SO, OF COURSE, I STARTED TO WRITE         ON THE WHITE HOUSE STAFF,

WITH JEFF, ELAINE - RICK AND REX; ***THEY ALWAYS LIKE TO LAUGH,

AND GO TO RITZY PARTIES - AND PLAY UNTIL THE DAWN!

SO, I'M AT FANCY PARTIES, INDESIGNERCLOTHES; AND-REAL-LY GONE!

 NEXT THING I KNOW, I WAKE UP ON - THE STREETS OF WASHINGTON****

BATHING IN MY POO AND URINE, WITH A BIG, OL' BOTTLE O' GIN!

 THEN POLICEMEN CAME TO GET-ME - TO PUT ME IN "THE SLAMMER,"

'CAUSE ACCORDING TO TRUMP'S PRESS SECRETARY, *****  SHE-SPEAKS WITHALITTLESTAMMER:

 "THE MYSTIC SON - HASBEENACCUSED - OF HOT FENCE ELECTROCUTION;

 MY "LIKES" ARE REALLY GROWING!******

  (That finishes this installment from The Son of The Mystic Poet!  See y'all at karaoke night at The Ole Crystal Bar tonight at about 10:30 P. M.! Remember, there may be a friggin' $2.00 cover charge, which I can't afford, since no one pays me anything for all this beautiful poetic rhyme, or for my glorious artistic work, including some wonderful paintings and drawings and origami and other wadded up pieces of paper!)

 * - IT SEEMS LIKE YEARS AGO NOW!

** - INTAKE!  NO MORE STARVATION ON MEXICAN PLANTATIONS FOR ME, BY GOLLY!  YIPPEE!  & MY FAMILY WILL BE WELL TAKEN CARE OF!  YAY!

***** - SARAH SANDERS, MIKE HUCKABEE'S DAUGHTER, I THINK!  OMG!  ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE REPUBLICANS?  THEY ARE!  AREN'T THEY?  GEE WHIZ!  SARAH IS ONLY 36!  OMG!  ISN'T THAT KINDA YOUNG!?  OH, WELL!

"REMEMBER:  THE THREE S's."  a poem for Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2019.

  STAND straight; walk tall,

Have         your  SELF     a real ball.

 And   (pause)   SMILE pretty; any smile will do,

Even with no teeth, it's good for you,

To try and SMILE throughout the day;

Look in the mirror. SMILE!   Hurray!

And keep those shoulders back, andTheHeadRightUp,

"Sipping" ALL DAY   "a loving cup!"

 AND WHAT'S THE 3rd "S?"  Did you guess?

What's No. 3 thatWe'll getTo address?

The tension's MOUNTING; have you got it?

It's SO OBVIOUS: cross some T's   and  iFyouGotAn"I," just dotIT.

 NO. 3, OF COURSE, IS:     SHARE,

Share your smile     and confident air;

Give it freely  TO EVERY ONE,

SO ALL THE GOOD FOLKS CAN HAVE SOME FUN.

 At first, THERE'S ONE; NOW, maybe 2;

See all the good that you can do?

TO BE A GOOD EXAMPLE, TO SHOW THE WAY;

Pretty soon, your WHOLE TOWN's    happy    all day.

 STANDING straight; SMILEing proud;

Now, you're (just?) another one   in the crowd,

Of HAPPY TEXANS,  all around;

YIPPEE!   WHAT A STATE     in which    weAre found.

 Then, The Nation;   then, The WorldIsSHARIN'&SMILI(o)N'

And STANDING straight.   ThisIs   SuchAn   IR ON nnnnnn

Y (ee)  that one goofy twit like YOU  can have such an affect,

On THE WORLD and   Universe, where we can ALL reflect,

THE BEST THAT HUMANKIND CAN GIVE;

SMILE, STANDuP, SHARE:   What a way to live.
