He don’t like wednesdays


[“shooting at (mostly bLACK-looking) tennessee school, results in one female dead, one male student grazed—followed by a fatal, self-inflicted blast from the shooter (with dead vic and perp’s respective names)”]

He Don’t Like Wednesdays
by Henry Jacquarious Longfelon

Cold school bus morning,
Cold his ‘n’ her hearses afternoon,
It was the Adderall
That made him Subtract-her-all,
No more lovin’ spoonful from the school nurse,
This Nashville cat has split the scene,
He don’t like wednesdays,
So he ends days. Class dismissed.


[Editorial note: Henry Jacquarious Longfelon is not Grand Rapids Anonymous. More than once I have published someone whom I was sure must have been GRA, but whom the real GRA insisted was not him. That’s how influential GRA is, God bless him.]

  1. Abolish Tenure it must be,
    His style,there,
    For all to see.
    No,he and I are not the same,
    Wish I'd thought Longfelon's name.

  2. You're warmed this poet's heart on a frigid climate-change week when the new administration upstaged Doctor King and began its savage assault on equity and justice.
