A BARD IN IOWA

A bard in Sioux City
Iowa had a manly mind
of a glad day encyclopedia
from a hundred generations
with a book of knowledge
always on hand
with a brush or brush off
from the dark hallways
in his expanding mass media
when he thundered words
of romance from his Empire
about his taking chances
by doing mad cap seances
out in the country
shouting out his business
of his advertising desire
to be a stand up comedian
pop, soap and opera star
from an ad agency medium
of the avant- garde.
