The other side
The corporation cannot evolve fast
Enough to control the wanton
Parameters of sacrosanct biennials.
Once again Pliny the Elder attributes
Quaint colloquies to his better half,
A penguin/saguaro hybrid in a
Retro Chevette, tow-strap, atop
A pineapple rig. Not surprisingly
A black river of scorpions had
Stowed up with Pedro
In the hatch,
Thus the quotient multiplied
Out: hence a leaking tube of beige caulk,
Venom and hysterics resulted in visa vi
This hybrid of the Elder’s, who
Lassoed aforementioned Chevette,
Becoming sole master
Then bombarded Cleveland with
Backhanded and tectonic compliments,
Completely retaining forever the key
To the city…
Now Cleveland really rocks.

the good news is biennials only come every two years, fire the CEO, bring in new blood without all the baggage of black scorpion chevette women or cowboy fetishes...cleveland...hmmm....
'beige caulk' . . .pleaghhhh. A Penguin/saguaro hybrid on the other hand sounds positively fablious. I still have no idea what you're talking about but its fun just the same! I thought Cleveland always 'rocked' then I live in the arsehole of the world so what do I know.
I wouldn't want to confuse Pliny the Elder with Pliny the Younger. Although, I've heard it said that Pliny the Elder is actually younger than Pliny the Younger.
...this has sparked some lively dialogue...
funny, didn't know that about the Plinys; The Secret Life of Plinys, could it be a miniseries?
A black river of scorpions Sounds more like The Thames to me.
Tom, Pliny the Elder:23-79 A.C.E.
Pliny the Younger:62-113 A.C.E.
The Elder was a naturalist, while the Younger was an author. And you can see, in answer to Willow's comment, who really was the eldest. And there you have it! Now pass th' penguin!

Gosh, I like that, and the super doodle.
thanks for the heads up Subby...all this bc and ad and ace stuff just confuses me, however. Who would name their kid 'Pliny' is a better question!
Liza, i thought the doodle kind of showed a progression from seed to complete organism/machine back to seed again...sortof fit the verse, kindof not, too.
Tom, what's really in a name? Besides, your talking ancient Rome. I always liked the obscure names like Aloycious and Ignatius...I'm just sayin', is all!
My great grandfather introduced me to Pliny (both) and are interesting reads. Plutarch too, but that's another story.
Enjoyed your word play best of all.
Cheers 2 U!
! pliny is not at all obscure, i see...
yes Subby, the old names are pretty cool...Attrocious in fact! He was a real cut-up...(is that your middle name?)
next boy cat that comes into my house definitely gets the name pliny.
I wonder what ian hunter has done with his key to cleveland??
Tom, ha! Not even close and you only get two more guesses-LOL!
Phinial?
Phineaus...
....no, you're kidding, right!?
Tom, nope. The name pops up in a few older movies but google "Phineas Gage". And apparently Disney has a 'toon called "Phineas and Ferb"( I don't watch telly so wasn't known to me )...
