Rowing to Rhodesia

My writingsa mixed bag. Ive been writing safely dull and inoffensive poems since 1956, but Ive noticed of late that FARCE (alien elements theyre called) has occasionally taken residence in my verses. This can sometimes be considered a problem, but I think a problem that can be endured for the sake of the action, the plot, the whole nine yards, and for what is generously called life. And well, poetry.
