There once was a fellow named Roky

Who led a life some would call rocky.

          He fought mental illness,

For Roky Erickson of the 13^th Floor Elevators, who produced the first great psychedelic rock song, “You’re Gonna Miss Me.”  Put it on your playlist, NOW.

Was held up by a judge, and not jeered. 

There once was a woman named Cindy

DC Entertainment has candelled a few comic book titles due to poor sales;  The Legion of Super-Heroes, a feature introduced in 1958 and published somewhat regularly since the 1960’s; The Demon Knights, a series set in medieval Britain, featuring a number of long-time DC characters; and Threshold, which was a collection of classic characters from DC space-faring comic books, including a new incarnation of Captain Carrot, from DC’s great funny animal series, Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew.  Don’t worry, most of the characters will surface in wome other series, probably kissing Wonder Woman.

In hopes of getting a new Kia.

         All the bats in the dugout

         Until she gets drug out

To the bull pen to warm up the scrubs.

Whose defense is hanging precarious

         Tells me this girl likes sex,

But, maybe, with partners more various.
