“Happy 58, Susan Wheeler!” [by Anthony Madrid via Facebook]

THREE BIRTHDAY LIMERICKS for SUSAN WHEELER  (7/16) 

1.
There was a young lady named Wheeler,
Whose stinger, antenna and feeler
Could never be seen—except in a dream
Of that hexapod lady named Wheeler.

2.
There was a young person named Wheeler,
Preserved in a jar of tequila.
“I’m a gnat! I’m a gnat!” was the comment of that
Hymenopterous person named Wheeler.

3.
There was a young lady named Wheeler,
Whose camouflage couldn’t conceal her.
Though she hid in the closet, her slim ovipositor
Under the door would reveal her.

Radio

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

from New and Selected Poems by David Lehman
