Subject: Alfred's Odd Ode # 83


Apology to MW #83 (For January 26, 1997)=20

Today it=92s a football, a shape so familiar,
To which millions of eyes will be glued.
Consciousness finds this old focus so friendly
Though most of the conscious are stewed <g>.

The ball is important as an agent only.
It *suggests* at what=92s dearly in mind:
That *something* really *something-ed*!
What=92s found _out_, we _really_ find!

That *HONORED* skin conveyed by *HIM* --=20
It MOVED from *here* to *there*!!!!
"It is the TRUTH, I *saw* it happen."
"It is THE truth, I SWEAR"!

But what kind of *truth* is served up neat,
So timed, and so digestible,
With commercials by the Marlboro man,
And a message infinitesimal.

I=92ve _lived_ the standard argument
As regards a football=92s meaning.
An honored trainer of young men to be . . .
But. . . could it be worthless -- demeaning .

As it=92s precious few that play that game
The rest are left to watch.
These laugh and scream, ensconced in dream.
They shriek, and hitch their crotch.

Forgotten for a moment
Is the meter needing feeding. . .
Or, out you go -- into cold snows. . .
Though Bill can ". . .feel you bleeding."

So you fall into line, and watch the game.
=91Twixt their rock and their own hard place.
And UFO=92s are lost to footballs. . .
. . .A flash of field lights in your face.

And Monday new then comes at last.
Where now=92s that truth you witnessed?
What of that skin moved *here* to *there*. . .
And does it help you with your business?

It=92s gone. It matters not.=20
Business _is_ as business _does_.
The real truth is pretty scary,
So you=92re not looking, just because.

And truth=92s lost behind that football,
As it soars above so high.
It distracts from what=92s beside it =96=20
. . . UFO=92s have lost your eye. . .

Football . . . that=92s the one that=92s pointy on the ends =96 right?

Hey, it=92s 6:30 PM central time, Sunday, June 26th =96 time for reruns of
Marlin Perkin=92s,  Mutual of Omaha=92s -- Wild Kingdom!! Seize you later.

And he will, too.
