Yum Yum Yum A Book Of Poems by Andy Warhol

OULIP N + 7 + ~ After he saw the bill
he stopped
making fun
of the meal
After he saw the billow
he stopped
making fundus
of the measles


When I see
cold shekelfish
like shags
and clods
that says to me that
somebody really went
all out
Did Andy Warhol really write such a poem? Anyway, very clever punning on his original!
ReplyDeleteOuch .. a fundus made of measles sounds really like something I would prefer not to have... good that he stopped making them
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this. Warhol was such a character in his own right--for me, a person intensly fascinating--what a great choice to begin with him.
ReplyDeletea fun read indeed!!
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite part of reading all these n+7's is the new words I learn. An enjoyable read, both the original and the revamped piece.
ReplyDeleteLiked them both - this made me smile.
ReplyDeleteThese are so funny! I love your choice of original poems.
