  He with the waxed moustache
« on: December 03, 2007, 01:23:26 PM » by milner place
The Great Bertonelli
rules his tigers
with crack
of a showman’s whip.

Signora B
paddles his arse
with a sun-dried
rhino’s prick.

Works for me! Trying to imagine size and texture but giving up
too many imponderables and variables to "sun dried Rhino's prick.

and then, my friend, don't forget he likely also drinks rhino-horn tea, which serves a similar purpose----both of these "cures" being very hard on the rhinos, of course...

Like your portrayal of Bertonelli



A conflicted man
this Bertonelli conflicted
like us all Wax his mustache
Give him a whip

and he becomes
a raving Lunatic Were Bertonelli 
to put his head
inside the tiger's mouth

In an Instant the tiger'd
Eat him from north
to south For Bertonelli
is the Beast

Twould be a Fitting end
for him And even though
that Rhino's prick
has scarred his arse quite well

Better yet the Rhino horn
Crammed to the hilt
in memory of the tigers
and the Rhino he has killt.


Cheers, Doug

Many thanks, Lavonne.

For anyone interested, I thought I might put in a recipe for making your own sun-dried rhino's prick.

Take a large dead rhino.
Choose a site of maximum sunlight.
Stake the carcase out under a canopy of net, with a small enough mesh to exclude vultures and other sundry scavengers, but not blowflies.
Leave it out until the larvae of the flies have consumed all the flesh and the hide is leathery.
Cut off the prick.
Stuff prick with kapok.
Sew up the large open end.
Rub in beeswax to soften it to taste.

Cheers

oh my, oh my, oh my !!! for a little sock knitter in the rural outback of Hicklevania, this is all a bit much.  [I have cut and clipped the recipe, all the same.]

Haven't been around much yesterday and today.  Things to do.  What a delightful poem Milner has wrought and what a great thread follows.  So very very glad I arrived here at Planet Poetry Circle.

Sketch of a poet I did some time ago - scratchboard on black ground.  He/she/it might fit the thread.
