Rosie’s post-View poetry
Copped freely from The Nose on Your Face, it’s a satirical look at poetry from Rosie O’Donnell’s blog. You’ll notice, Rosie doesn’t allow commentary on her poetry. I wonder why?
It is morning
the birds have hatched
in the nest
on the porch
so there will be no
bacon and cheese omelet todayfreaking chicks, squeak loud
taunting me
I will look for sparrow recipesMy children rise
rub sleep from their eyes
Seeing me, they scream
WHAT IS THAT?
I’ve forgotten clothing
and make-upThey flee to their rooms
the click of locks
and the plea for at least
a mumu and some blushI pound on their doors
jiggling freely
Reminding them of dead Iraqis
who never had mumus and make-up
or bacon and cheese omelette’s
My stomach rumbles
I leave them with their shockAs I move back to the kitchen
The mumu gently flutters
on my breaking wind
The dog whines and retreatsI wonder what fiber-rich fruit crap
Hasselback is eating
As I snap into a Slim Jim
and consider Sparrow Souffle






















This is sick -
Years ago when she had her own talk show, I had guests who wanted to watch it and she did a half-hour on squirrels and how annoying they were and how she wanted to kill them. I had enough then and she keeps getting worse and worse.
