R.A.D. Stainforth...and his hero...
Damon's Nose
I'm too vain to cry much;
my sniffs hide mute
behind strands of my hair,
and layers of waterproof mascara.
With a random hanky-snort,
mine foghorns out a cute G,
not all loud and garble-monster,
like a prehistoric disposer.
I wonder what Matt Damon's
sounds like, leghorn-straight,
squared off at the end
like Bob Hope's.
