LITTLE TOMMY TUBERVILLE

by Ralph LaRosa

Was Tommy Tuberville
from Nowherville
deprived of lovely rhymes
in childhood times?
 
He thinks that hearing verse
makes sailors worse!
Is his little cry, 
meant to imply:
 
Soft sailors in collusions
of “woke” confusions
are fighters made Lambs
by rhymes and Iambs?

Ralph La Rosa’s poetry appears on the Internet, in print journals, anthologies and the chapbook Sonnet Stanzas and full-length collections Ghost Trees and My Miscellaneous Muse.
