Stevie Joe and the Poets of Junebug Holler

As you may already know, I regard most of the local citizenry as insane. However, I still love them. The lastest proof of their insanity is the poetry craze that is now sweeping the Holler. I recently posted some thoughts about poetry on the Stevie Joe Parker's Guide to Life. Before long, Junior, hobbled by sobriety, wrote some of his own. Now, Dickie Jensen joins in. Here's the latest:

GOODNIGHT JUNEBUG MOON
by Dickie Jensen

In the great beer room
There was a pickle jar
And a stuffed raccoon
And a picture of—

A fat guy shooting the moon
And there were three drunken fools sitting on stools

And two girly posters
And a pizza toaster

And a slot machine
And two drunk teens

And a Swede, a Canuck, and a room full of schmucks
And a cranky old lady who was yelling, “fuck!”

Goodnight room

Goodnight moon
Goodnight fat guy shooting the moon

Goodnight jar
And the stuffed raccoon

Goodnight fools
Goodnight stools

Goodnight posters
And goodnight toaster

Goodnight flakes
And urinal cakes

Goodnight slot machine
And goodnight teens

Goodnight Swede
And goodnight Canuck

Goodnight nobody
Goodnight schmucks

And goodnight to the old lady yelling, “fuck!”

Goodnight barf

Goodnight chair

Goodnight cougars everywhere

Adieu,
Stevie Joe Parker
