Ben S. Pollock's Mirthology,
a loose leaflet

This site's a repository for my prose
if not poesy.
With luck, you'll enjoy its facets in repose;
please, get cozy.

Will you be underwhelmed by this mass?
My ego finds that derogatory.
I must suppose, as tastes differ, you might pass
taking up this suppository.

Throw me a bone about this doggerel,
My aim immodest but accuracy a quarrel.

Muse on news: Click on BRICK. A tuck-pointed blog. Ain't it purty?

Multiple Pulitzer Prize Nominee*

*Anybody can nominate anybody for a Pulitzer: Publishers, agents, mothers and writers themselves. Really. What's needed: Writing samples, bio, photo, entry form -- and $50 -- it's all on the official Web site. I send my packet to Category 9, Distinguished Commentary. Months later, it comes back.
