    WAR OF THE ORANGES WON’T RHYME

    Note the odd nexus
    of scurvy war and citrus:
    Proto-Indo-European nek-es

    Internecine’s root of death
    appears in nectarine -
    a bloodless, fuzzfree
    ascorbic saviour

    Even as a child, I knew that nectarines were the most sinister of the ever-suspect stone fruits.

    Ha! I think ‘bloody internecine conflict’ is about right.

      Oh yeah? The competition among academic poets reaches its apogee here in the U.S., I gather, but poets everywhere are a contentious lot. Countries with lots of poets, such as Yemen and Somalia, are not famed for pacifism.

    Hmmm. This might finally explain why April is the cruelest month. (grin)
