George "The Animal" Steele
by Mike Boyle
was biting the turnbuckle
as the Iron Sheik
was coming to

Billy Synth
passed me the joint
and we laughed
as George
went at
the turnbuckle
and the announcer
sd
Could someone PLEASE
get this man
out of the ring
he has no business
in the great sport
of wrestling

Earl was upstairs
making
MONSTER BURGERS
drunk
and yelling about
the woman down the block
that ran a cathouse
and we could hear
Rich
who lived in the front room
of the rooming house
who worked
as a janitor
at the hospital
and was so fat
and lazy
he kept a bucket
by his bed
to piss in
instead of going
upstairs
yelling
SHUT THE HELL UP EARL
WE'RE TRYING TO WATCH
WRASTLING

later that night
after watching
The Animal
and some others
that weren't so great
no
George
was the greatest
I went up to my
little room
one the 2nd floor
and tried to write a poem
in longhand

wouldn't own a typer
for 5 years yet
didn't know
how to type
anyhow

then some girl
was on the phone
and she talked
a lot
I kept walking away
to get smokes
and look
at the TV
came back
sd
uh-huh
and walked away
again

didn't know
till years later
that George
was a professor
had a PHD
and didn't write this poem
till now
