Carousel pony

“And Merlin said quietly, “Because I am wise. In the combat between wisdom and feeling, wisdom never wins.” John Steinbeck

Dinosaur bones in need

of a good story

St. George appears,

slays dragons,

becomes a superhero,

patron saint,

a pundit for cable news,

a priestly knight

jousting on a carousel pony

never unhorsed,

never defeated

counseling fair maidens about sex.

If he doesn’t get dizzy

and stays on track,

he’ll make tenure

before he grows old
