When life throws you 🍋 s make lemonade they say

.Wake up saying “today is a new day”!

 Or “One day at a time” they say.

 Actual very bad poetry by 

Breanna Lungo Koehn August 2020 

...the current Mayor of Medford!   

Even McGlynn drunk 

couldn't screw up four lines this badly!

In 2021 or so they refused to let me apply for Poet Laureate because - 

though I lived in Medford since December 2003,

and was 50 yards away running the AirBNB in Malden on 

Charles St. (same street that goes into Medford,) I was

denied the ability to apply.  (Trust me, it's all political.)

So in 2023 I applied again, knowing 

I didn't have a snowball's chance in hell,

despite 52 years as a record producer,

four albums out in Europe ..."Best Single of the Month"

 in "L'Attendant Magazine" Belgium, 

Phonograph Record mag California,

One of the Best 5 Artists in Boston, Playboy Magazine, 1978, etc. 

 Y'all know my resume' 

 Here's my response to Breanna's poem

and Exhibit A if I litigate as to why I should be 

the Poet Laureate of Medford 2023-2025!

ha!

 

You think my poetry's bad?

Some comedy to make you laugh

look who I hired for my

Chief of Staff    (Aquaman himself, Dave Rodrigues, allegedly booted from

 Everett City Hall and the Aquarium!  HA HA)

****

My critics all say

I get too PollyAnnie

But I can't even pronounce

Lisa Colaianni

*****

Wake up saying

Today's a new day

Vice Chair of my school committee

a Felonious Gay!      (Convicted criminal Paul Comeau Jr. presto change-o 

name change to Paul Ruseau to hide the obvious,....)

 

I'm getting very tired

of what they may say!

I'm so like Stephanie

tho

my hair ain't gray

****

When life throws lemons

drink the lemonade

Iambic (Bob)Penta-meter

don't make my grade

*****

(Tempo change)

Zac Bears?

Who Cares!

My administration loves

quacks and queers

****

I'm the new mayor

time to feed the ducks

I use the "s" word

because my poetry sucks

****

My foreman at the park

he's always being molested

by that blogger, not Covid

we're all being tested!

* * * * *

I'd like to be on Mars

riding the Rover

our community really needs

my short reign to be over

****

C'mon and blame me

vote and give me the boot

Like Ruseau / I'll change my name

perhaps to

Van der Fruit

*****

All my critics on point

But we'll still get there, I know it

My Pollyanna Delusions

like Trump I'm gonna blow it!

******

From Madame Knight

to single payer

yes indeedy Medford

I'm your Two Term Mayor

You think my poetry's bad?

Some comedy to make you laugh

look who I hired for my

Chief of Staff

****

I take an axe to this city

A modern day Lizzie Borden

I hate public access

why we hired Patrick Gordon

Mobilize Morons

Has Medford had enough?

File a Class Action Suit

c'mon and call my bluff

Zac and George and Ric

fall from the roof / it makes a crater

Better than them and Michael Marks

stuffed in that creaky elevator

Integrity, Transparency

My promises have stalled

I write these very bad poems

because

John Falco is bald

The Mayor's poetry is off

oh yes, but I am shredding

at least I didn't give the finger

at Mark Rumley's son's wedding 
 

Count Joe and his damn blog

at least I'm not getting his mad faxes

he investigates too thoroughly

why I keep him off of public access
