6 thoughts on “Heather McWeather by Percival P. Pennywhistle”
The Professor offers two clarifying notes:
1. Like “Make like a tree,” “Heather McWeather” is an example of €œconcrete poetry, € but that isn’t what it’s made of. Which is a good thing, because the editor should never have been able to cut and paste it on this website if it had been, at least not without slipping a disk or two.
Miss Dunster, the Professor suggests that this is because you are very like the titular character in the poem, and opines further that this is a very good way to be. Predictable and plain is, well, self-explanatorily tedious. He applauds, therefore, your perspicacity, alacrity, and excellent taste in poetry.

2. A €œgamut € is not a kind of fish.

this poem made me laugh out loud. I don’t know why. But I love it.
