The Web Poetry Corner - Hardy Parkerson - They Whisper

They Whisper

by

Hardy Parkerson

Robert Butler of McNeese writing fame:
A prof of the creative writing "game";
GOOD SCENT won him the great Pulitzer Prize,
But reading THEY WHISPER opened our eyes.

A more sordid novel there never was;
It has our small hometown in quite a buzz.
Some say the Devil could not outdo him
In writing such a great salacious gem.

O, rejoice, as you read it page by page!
McNeese has now escaped the Stoned Age.
The naked truth lies there for all to see.
We're proud of McNeese University.

The writer uses any word with ease,
'Though it may shock our sensibilities.
He helps us cast away our prudish ways;
This writer's great and he is due great praise!

No sicker mind is there in books today
Than that of poor old Ira Holloway;
Poor Ira's sick and needs a dozen shrinks
To help him straighten out the way he thinks.

O, Doctor Butler, will you give us more?
Do other gems like this you hold in store?
O teach our sons and daughters how to write
Creatively as THEY WHISPER tonight.
