Here's another obscure on, TIA:

AROMATICS

Will Dockery smelled good for a donkey
Though his ears were like those of a monkey
Still he wasn't particularly skunky
Just a little funky for a honky.

Will didn't smell bad for a bum, he
Didn't offend though his clothes were quite crummy
When he smiled, his teeth looked a bit scummy
It's too bad that he was such a dummy.

Will smelled pretty good for an ass
Though when sitting in Dan Barfly's class
I struck quite a pose
With my had to my nose
What a shame Dan didn't let that boy pass.

Will didn't stink though he lived in a shed
Where he slept on old rags for a bed
He'd a brother named Dave
But neglected to save
Dave when Zod bashed him over the head.

Now that Zod has a terrible smell
That we Georgia folk knows all too well
He's a toothless old twink
Who the locals call Stink
Cause his odor is six shades of Hell.

But let it not be misunderstood
That Will Dockery smelled pretty darn good
For a jackass, that is
Cause that odor of his
Was enough to disintegrate wood.

-- Ahmos Zu-Bolton, "Playgrounds," June 2005.

Why do you lie, forge and misrepresent so much, Michael Pendragon?

Again, good find.

As you know Ahmos Zu-Bolton poetry is a rare find on the internet.

Thanks again for helping keep the poetry of Ahmos Zu-Bolton out of obscurity, Zod.

I rescued a poem by your good friend, Ahmos Zu-Bolton from obscurity, Donkey. Not only that, but it's a poem in which he talks about you and your Stink (in lower case as well).

You should be thrilled to see it posted here:

AROMATICS

Will Dockery smelled good for a donkey
Though his ears were like those of a monkey
Still he wasn't particularly skunky
Just a little funky for a honky.

Will didn't smell bad for a bum, he
Didn't offend though his clothes were quite crummy
When he smiled, his teeth looked a bit scummy
It's too bad that he was such a dummy.

Will smelled pretty good for an ass
Though when sitting in Dan Barfly's class
I struck quite a pose
With my had to my nose
What a shame Dan didn't let that boy pass.

Will didn't stink though he lived in a shed
Where he slept on old rags for a bed
He'd a brother named Dave
But neglected to save
Dave when Zod bashed him over the head.

Now that Zod has a terrible smell
That we Georgia folk knows all too well
He's a toothless old twink
Who the locals call Stink
Cause his odor is six shades of Hell.

But let it not be misunderstood
That Will Dockery smelled pretty darn good
For a jackass, that is
Cause that odor of his
Was enough to disintegrate wood.

-- Ahmos Zu-Bolton, "Playgrounds," June 2005.

Ahmos Zu-Bolton is far from obscure, well known in Black poetry circles...

"...Ahmos Zu-Bolton II's books include Ain’t No Spring Chicken, a collection of poetry and folklore, and 1946: A Poem. In addition to his poetry, Zu-Bolton wrote several plays, including The Widow Paris: A Folklore of Marie Laveau, The Funeral, Family Reunion, and The Break-In......"

Here is another from the late great poet Ahmos Zu-Bolton, I will post here for archival purposes....

***

"Ravis"

My brother turns his life insideout,
from a jail in Leesville,
from a half-way house in Lake Charles,
from a slave-quarter in DeRidder.
He is prisoner of his own rage
