FOR PETE

by Larry Litt






He was Planet Earth’s Minstrel Poet,
wedging his way into worried minds,
making activists out of Davids
who didn't know they could control
American Goliaths.


Larry Litt is a writer and performer who can't decide if he’s a 'dirty old man, 'smart olfart' or 'recently bathed geezer.’The NY Times has called his work "Wryly conceived, politically provocative."
