An* Homage to Dana Gioia




An* Homage to Dana Gioia?

Dana Gioia, a man who is  obviously far from a jerk
 has always shown an  immense capacity for work

The first long term employer
of the aforesaid Mr. Gioia

was General Foods
where he used 
his poetic moods
(or is that Muse?)

to help Jello Jiggle
--please suppress that  giggle-

by day--
a rather  unusual way
to use one's Harvard MBA --

while at night in an occupation far more deep
he wrote poetry  within or  instead of  sleep.

And nowadays he's a Prof at LA's Southern Cal
where he helps talented students  gain a diploma
while  he and his long time married to  gal
have another home in  wine country -- Sonoma. 

While people like him arouse my awe and  admiration --
Unfortunately, I could never begin to do as well as he
and be recognized as a premier poet and critic  of our Nation
because in Florida where I live, there's a lot of humidity--
besides,  I'm allergic to --and dislike --THAT much perspiration.
