Classic Poem

Why does Mama wear
Indira"s red and green earrings?

A jinx is the inverse
of Jewish artichoke;

kinship is the transverse
of no opinion coke.

Flambe is the reverse
of Papa"s poker chips;

touche to the universe
of acquiescent lips.

For the same reason she wears
silent Nehru jacket, holy Nehru jacket.
