I feel myself adjusting to my age. I like it when young people address me as sir.

I Stand By My Statement.




I suppose I ought to make a statement.
Jello is tasting good, not just for
special diet persons living in retirement
villages. I know an old whore
who quit making Puttanesca,

ingredients became too pricey
he had to turn double the tricks
to afford dry peppers to make the dish spicey.
Pleasuring straight guys' dicks
for a bowl of pasta with anchovy?





Jello, orange, cherry, strawberry,
the old whore developed a habit
his pimp named him Gelatin Fairy.
Jello made him hump like a rabbit,
artificial flavors & colors did their job.

Now this whore works a Safeway store
stocking the Jello shelves nightly.
Pineapple, lemon, & lime is now the core
of his life as he takes credit rightly
for saving humanity with recipes, Jello ingredient one.


I recently learned that I am a Pacific Northwest Writers Association Literary Contest Finalist in the poetry category.  (PNWA.org)  So it seems fitting that I re-open my blog with a poem for your reading pleasure.


Thank you in advance





The next few days I will post three reviews of films that will leave you wondering, what happened to the old Gerald?  Why has he eschewed musical comedy to watch such interesting, diverse and disturbing subject matter?  Oh and I'm going to post the cassoulet pics for my non-Facebook friends.  Then I'll post updates on  my talk show development.  We will have a "name that talk show" contest.  Nice? Yes indeed, very nice.

  1. GC, I'd love to hear you read this poem. The cadence (or my best guess at the cadence, if that's even the correct way to talk about this) and the words sparked some great visuals. Nice.
