Once upon a time
A newly wedded pair
Thought it would be sublime
To bravely dare
To get in a canoe and paddle
Over the stormy waters
Of Lake Union in Seattle
To the reception of the Potters.
In wedding dress and tux
This couple stepped aboard.
With a chorus of “good luck”s
They momentarily oared.
But the canoe did tip
And the bride decried
The captain of the ship
As they both went over the side.
A nod to Kierkegaard and Walker Percy: existentialist tomfoolery, political satire, literary homage, word mongering, a year-round summer reading club, Dylanesque music bits, apocalyptic marianism, poetry, fiction, meta-porn, a prisoner work-release program.

The wisdom of the father was ignored; not the first, and most likely not the last.
