Sorry, the actual title of the poem was IAMB DUMBFOUNDED instead of IAMB CONFUSED. It was so long ago that I wrote it (1973) that I forgot the actual title.
Update: 26 March 2018 I have FOUND a handful of my lost poems, one of which was mentioned in this poem. IAMB CONFUSED and ARE COUSINS FRIENDS? have now been posted here on Poem Hunter!
I didn't find out the Possibility of writing poems until age 83.. who knew? They say everybody doesn't find it this easy. Tough. I do excellent caricatures and am too lazy to get my comic strip published. Pretty ladies are constantly buying me drinks at the casino and I can only hold two brandies so am then in danger of losing at roulette.(No, I don't think management puts them up to it.) Some pretty lousy rhymes there by the way.
Don't hold anything back, Wes. Tell me what you really think. I miss you, old buddy.
Update,25 February 2025: Today I found TWO of my lost poems in a box in my basement, one of which was mentioned in this poem. I found 'Sonnet --- with blood on it' and 'The Devil's Darkness'. I will not be posting them to PH right away, but MAY do so later.
