Texted to me this morning:
I have blocked
the canal
that was in
Egypt
and which
you were probably
using
for the global economy
Forgive me
it went sideways
so fast
and out of control
It is meant to evoke William Carlos Williams's poem about the plums, "This is Just to Say"
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
I like both poems.

There once was a ship of pride & fame
and "ever given" was its name
But close to Suez it got stuck
and it could move no more
Soon may the rescue come
or this will cost a hefty sum!
A puny little digger will not
make it leave the shore
