From A to Z and Back Again

 
 
I'm no longer much concerned

About the mortal helicoid

As it receives the Jamesian twist.

Attendance at All Hallows

Has made the enlarged volume

Of the Salesman's travels

A bit more contractile, and

I've decided on the modality

Of my ultimate return:

It'll be a quest for number one 

In SF's Presidio, but by the Book....

Ideally, a duet with Erdos

Played ectoplasmalemmically

On Fermat's last theremin.
 
 

Gummere, Morley !!

Gin's at hand

And the Game's afoot.
