“He looked like
Jack Palance”—
Janet Malcolm
The Silent Woman

Handsome & lean—
Wolfish in a hungry way
Killer On the Loose
You wanna die?

Palance & Hughes—
Murderous duo both
Male femme fatales out
On the film noir prowl
_____________

Palance good at it—
So was hunky Hughes
Knowing how to seduce
And manipulate Suckers

Like in the classic—
“Panic in the Streets”
An oily Big Easy hood
Greasy Palance superb
_____________

Smoothie with chicks—
Greasy with other crooks
Even seducing Tommy Cook
The kid’s exquisite bouffant

What could be more—
Rotten and decadent than
The New Orleans docks
Ancient Sodom seaport?
_____________

Even Joan Crawford—
Cool as an old kunt icicle
Melting in Palace’s arms
Mooning for his big meat

Seduced on a train—
“Sudden Fear” his name
Palance takes his time
Getting rid of her
_____________

Both Hughes & Palance—
Could keep men and women
Desperately on the hook with
Their lean & mean maleness

Miss Eliot swooned—
And Miss Auden mooned
Cruising Ted’s Yorkshire Cock
Sipping their chic martinis
_____________

How the Fag Literati—
Went for his big Salami
Mytholmryod throbbing gristle
Stud of moody moors

Going thru a harem of—
Beautiful young bosomy
British bimbos who like
Their men savage & mean

Feigning innocence when—
Caught, hiding behind his
Con job story blaming his
Poor suicidal wife Sylvia?

Isn’t that how it works—
Vain Male Prima Donnas
Poet Laureates slumming an
Old Anglo Saxon Whore House?
