  • To William McKinley and His Eyebrows

    bill

    note: I used an extra large image for emphasis

    O luxuriant eyebrows! O thickets divine!

    President of superciliary design!

    Tufts like wings—you could take flight

    Into the air like a presidential kite.

    Oh Bill, do you groom them that way?

    Carefully crafting that hirsute spray

    Springing forth from thine head like Athena

    With the gentle grace of a ballerina?

    McKinley, McKinley, thanks for Guam

    But thank you more for your brows aplomb.
