{THIS MAY OR MAY NOT BE AN ODE}
WHITEWATER
An ode to a hold irregular;
A rap on the vessel unleashed?
They set to sea extra-C -
Bound to be Post-Constitutional,
Above the hollows - hallows;
How neareth Hades rap -
Their rap’dless extra-C?
Their pebbles - of flint stone logic?
A rap on the vessel un-teathered?
A hold irregular - to be praised?
An ode to a paddled keen?
O’ - to a tussled and/or a bob -
O’ - of a hold a hold a vessel?
A soul reflecting a soul;
Yet: Where doth be her reflection?
A river slammers rock of Constitution -
Churns to of old Philly days -
Poor Richard keen and bright?
As news breaks anew - NEWS!
Founders paddling - to be praised?
An ode to a mutinied breastworks,
An irregulars anew - steeped TEA?
Rhythms - writs & blues -
O’ - Such civil acts - the keep?
A house of Hillary - SUNK!
By their river’s edge & its lots;
Friends upturned - turned out to in!
Not yet a garden - nor an urn -
So Grecian - say - yet again?
US her melancholy - to be praised?
