RAINBOW DREADLOCKS
The rainbow dreadlocks at Marc Jacobs spring/summer 2017 have caused uproar on social media

RAINBOW DREADLOCKS
Somewhere under her rainbow
way up high
I saw a face I could dream of
after going beddy bye.
Yet I'm not sure I liked her hair
with all those colors there,
for too much radical chic
can strike you like a brick
and even when in Oz-- that bizarre land--
young Judy never wore such a garland.
But red shoes I guess are now passe
they were for another day
and altogether much too tame
in today's rough Fashion Game.

Obama's Fish Monument and Top Insults from Colin Powell
Obama's Fish Monument and Top insults from Colin Powell
Gen. Colin Powell could have made an excellent President
and probably better in the White House than its current resident.
The latter has just gotten the notion
For a monument to the Atlantic Ocean
an idea I find somewhat less than terrific,
perhaps to soothe those fish annoyed with his tilt to the Pacific.
Obama to Create Atlantic Ocean's First Marine Monument
New York Times - 5 hours ago
WASHINGTON — President Obama on Thursday will create the Atlantic Ocean's first United ...
Anyway, to return to Gen. Powell and specifically his emails,
we might never have known what he feels that being a leader entails
and why he so much deserves our backing
If it hadn't been for all that hacking.
Now we really know what he thinks of Hillary and Bill---
The former is piggish and the latter diddling babes still--
while about The Donald. he is equally blunt
considering his candidacy a national affront.
So fasten your seatbelts securely for the next four years
and hope we somehow get through without too many tears.

Screwball Comedies

Screwball comedies were invented to fight the Depression of the 30's. . They still work---
at least until we turn on the news.

Boy gets girl or the reverse --eventually--after hi jinks and complications
and both they and the world were younger and happier then
despite The Depression, social inequality and clunky cars and telephones.
If men went back to wearing hats and women's skirts got longer---
and we somehow got rid of other side effects of modern technology:
such as nuclear missiles, overpopulation and climate change---
could our world still be saved?

TO AVOID GRAVE DEFEATS
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c2/Gr%C3%BCtzner_Falstaff_mit_Kanne.jpg
TO AVOID GRAVE DEFEATS
When you're old enough to have one foot in the grave
then it's time to be cautious rather than brave.
Let others play The Hero
your interest should be zero.
He who decides to take care
rather than unthinkingly dare
or perhaps even run away
may often live another day.
Because you must agree when I say to you
that one foot in the grave is still better than two,
and so to common sense let's make concession
and curb untimely heroics and aggression :
THE BETTER PART OF VALOR (REMAINS) DISCRETION.

A Virtual President

A Virtual President
Having a virtual President
may be without precedent
but before everyone this idea will disparage,
think that we could then go to some garage
to get an immediate replacement
with no governmental displacement.
There would also be no worries about pneumonia
or which candidate would be truer or phony-er
since his assistant Watson could immediately regurgitate
without an error all the cliches that go with Power and State.
And as Presidential limousines will more and more automate,
we will then no longer need to use a him or her---
our candidate can also be its own chauffeur.

LUNCH BY LAUNCH, PART 2
LUNCH BY LAUNCH, PART 2
It is easier when hungry to take action less drastic
than prepare a gourmet meal with elaborate sauce.
Instead one can turn to Chinese ensconced in plastic
and happily forgo any audience applause.
I don't know how
perhaps by Tao?
they manage something so delectably edible
at prices so low that they are simply incredible.
Yet,sometime in the future we may only need whistle
to receive our hot lunch freshly cooked in a missile.

Lunch by Drone?
Lunch by Drone?
What strange people would want to use a phone
to have their lunch delivered by drone?
That idea wouldn't seem so daft
if stranded on a lifeboat or raft
but otherwise would it increase the pleasure
of any of our hard won gustatory leisure?
Please take that flying burrito away!
and (hopefully) bring back Escoffier.

USATODAY:
SAN FRANCISCO — No need to pinch yourself. This is not a dream. Google parent Alphabet really is delivering Chipotle burritos by drone.
This month, a small group of hungry students and employees will get their burrito orders lowered on a winch from a hovering drone on the Virginia Tech campus, making the drone-delivered burrito of geeky fantasies a reality — at least for a chosen few. Lunch will be prepared by Chipotle at a nearby food truck.
This is Alphabet's first test of drone delivery on the U.S. public. It's being conducted by Project Wing, part of X, the Alphabet lab that cooks up experimental projects for the Internet giant. Project Wing will run hundreds of flights and deliveries at a test site approved by the Federal Aviation Administration.
