As I mentioned elsewhere, much to ponder. Seems at times like a rumination on a general slide of real life swing into the TV wasteland dilution of corporate-sponsored "Mc-Society." But I'm still curious about that "DoorMattyStepanic" reference...

[HaroHalola]

Hello, Nazz - TY for the (timely) attention to this Piece, timeliness is key here as was my wont, as I hope the explication(s) will fulfill; simply-put, this Poem is what you have gleaned, & for the others, readers as well, here is a clue/Link to your query:

See ya "elsewhere" - H'H./H.e.m.

[judih]

tribute well put
i'm far away from telethon tradition
and i thank you for your wiki link to fill me in

[HaroHalola]

Judih, Shalom! Truthfully, you were in my thoughts a few days past; YW (but hardly a "tribute" from my perspective; more at dark satire/expose`). Yes, the Mattie thing was poignant at best.

I do hope you are safe & prospering; heard the news here from there of the indictment of Olmert, as if we Jews do not have enough of an historical burden (& then there's Bernie who Madoff with the billion$!).

"L'Shana Tovah," TY for the attention to my Work - Shalom Bayit, H'H./H.e.m.

[judih]

i'm doing my DNA best - thanks for the thoughts

as for satire, well, yes, one has no choice. everything is there for the parody.

best to you. less than 2 wks left to make something of this old year. gotta cook while the kitchen's open.

le heat

[HaroHalola]

J. - Pleased to hear you are positively acronyming; YW. Happily or unhappily a foisted satirical Morlde`plays around in our skulls like a beast before devouring what remains of Its prey. For the Poet/Writer, fodder for the unchangeling; would that I might only be exposed to lowings & purrs...

Keep the "kitchen open," there's important magniloquence afoot... H'H./H.e.m.

[mtmynd]

le jerre... comique of film
the father of kids born to illness
how treasured he has become
to honore him with million$ and million$
to save le children from their dis-ease
one joke, one performance, one act
... at a time for hours and hours and hours
our hero of the times (seemingly).... he lives.

((but pleeeze, i beg of you... never question heem))

[hester_prynne]

The march of crimes....
musk you lure diss trophy Jerry?

Puzzle poems rock.

[HaroHalola]

mtmynd - TY; man, you nailed me nailing, & as the, literally, years proceed(s) new definitions of "reprehensible" are birthed, gasping for the preciou$. Your command of the absurd, linguistally, is a delight to have mirroring my Work...& on we go ("...awaaay we go!") into the all-to-present, yet-again, Seasons - H'H./H.e.m.

[HaroHalola]

h_p - TY; yeah, rockin' w/The Jerre, a fave paste-time, like a slow drip of onion juice into the eyes, It's a nasty busine$$, this, but hey, slumpbody's gotta do I'! H'H./H.e.m.

[Nazz]

Why all the dumping on Jerry et al. in this thread? Not sure I get that. Is it really that bad?

[HaroHalola]

Nazz - YES!, beyond... Would we lie? H'H./H.e.m.

[Nazz]

Well, if this is about the stink that a relative few have raised about Jerry being a "bigot" toward people with disabilities, I'm not sure I fully understand the mean-spiritedness of some of those accusations. Not saying that 80+-year-old Jerry old hasn't had a coarse slip of the tongue occasionally, and I realize that some people consider the whole "charity mentality" as an outmoded way of helping people. But Jerry has spent a lot of his time and energy trying to help in way(s) that he thought would do some good, and he has raised a lot of money for the cause. Is it fair to look only at the bad and ignore any good? Or am I being naive here in some way?
