By JIM

In February 1940, Milton Bacon, "Goodwill ambassador for [radio] station WCKY in Cincinnati," visited Columbia, and on the evening of Saturday, March 2, 1940, Mr. Bacon featured Columbia on his weekly program, "Cities Worthwhile and Folks Worth Knowing."

The following week, the Adair County News published a transcript of the show, including this great "goat to glory" vignette of Russell County native and long time Columbia resident Eros Boliver "Cy" Barger, a retired professional baseball player.

Poetry by Robert Stone: Too much rhyme apace

Too much rhyme apace : a word-list sonnet
By Robert Stone
Now is the time for all these random words.
Tonight and only once this poet packs
this pitty-patter into tandem herds
of wishes hoped become now know it acts.

Flown yesterday was perpendicular.
Potatoes grow so upward from the ground,
a fact denoting no particular
resentment of the harvest come around.

Tomorrow long or brief soliloquy
will fill up all my empty time and space
and should by chance you hear you will agree
much leisure leads to too much rhyme apace.

If bowling could but satisfy MacBeth,
succession would not go awry in death.

~ Robert Stone, 18 May 2017
Word list: pack – poet – wish – perpendicular – potato – resentment – soliloquy – leisure – bowling – MacBeth – Oprah (a bonus word I did not use BUT I did use double rhymes through the sonnet)

This poem sort of follows Shakespeare’s MacBeth monologue: Tomorrow and tomorrow…., Act 5, Scene 5

Poetry in the Boro, Murfreesboro. Words suggested at the March 2017 meeting - Robert Stone
