"Happy 157, George Bernard Shaw!" [by Anthony Madrid via Facebook]

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW (7/26/1856)

George Bernard Shaw!
I’m sure I don’t knaw!
That goofy-ass hat
Is against the law.
I’m standing in snowshoes,
In panties and bra:
I’m singing sea shanties
To George Bernard Shaw!

George Bernard Shaw
Detected the flaw
In elbowy lamp
And in bendy-ass straw.
“The cunningest citizen
I ever saw,”
Says Mr Insistor
To George Bernard Shaw!

☂

O Hannibal mandible
Cash-on-demandible
Misunderstandable
George Bernard Shaw!!

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
