Anybody remember the
original Land Shark skit on
Saturday Night Live? Um, I do! It struck my fancy. I couldn't stop laughing. Well, recently in the blog I mentioned Poet Beer, so now it's equal time for
Land Shark. Why today? Because of
Rob Carney's "Gathering Pages for The Book of Sharks" in his poetry feature up today at
Escape Into Life, among other wonderful poems you can see
here, with fabulous art by
Paul Tremblay. Poet Rob Carney was recommended to me by the wonderful Scott Poole. Thanks!
Why the lightning? Because of last night's thunder-storms and this morning's steady rain, which kept me away from the pool, alas, for lap swimming.
Why a comedy skit? Because
Rob Carney is quietly hilarious, whether he's bringing statistics, sex, Gemini girls, or bookstore cats into his also perfectly serious poems. Oh, yes, it's a Poetry Someday for the Hump of the Week in the blog!
It's a terrific poetry post, Kathleen. I enjoyed reading it earlier today. And, as always, perfectly complemented by your choice of artist.
