Another fine Martial epigram - Categories: Great Poets and Poems - twv @ 08:53:13 pm

I just came across this, an early (ancient) play on an old theme:

Gala wants me, Gala wants me not.
Because she wants and wants me not,
To say what Gala wants, I cannot.

Amusing, no? Good recreation by Donald C. Goertz.

Who can fool enough of the people? - Categories: My Poems, such as they are - twv @ 11:10:55 am

Socrates would have had us
All ladder up to wisdom.
But only the philosopher king
Proved whiz enough to turn
Common folly into his 'dom.

In a sense, this is my main blog. Confusingly, I've paired it with “Networkings” (click image above) to form my portal page, Wirkman Netizen. For archives of earlier versions of these blogs, click here. Menus on those old blog pages lead to other writing by me. Sorry if this is all confusing. Just click around. Feel free. Contacting me is remarkably easy!
