I always thought it was schmeggie

Upon further review...I've looked into it
and this seems to be a spelling that
most closely represents the pronunciation
although there are other variations. It
would be possible to end the word with
a double e or ie but that didn't seem
to look right.

I always thought it was "schmegeggie," a love child of schlemiel and schlemazal.

The Yes and No poem is wonderful.

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness

"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
