Fitzgerald #2 - Strand One

Lets see if we can keep more than one Poem going! This is Fitzgerald #2.
Not a Cherita - Just a Fitzgerald, but a Fitzgerald to Fitzgerald!
I wanted to try something totally different. If there are rabid Hemingway fans out there . . . have at it! (I am however, hereby ducking!)


A Fitzgerald to Fitzgerald

I said I was going to dump a fifth of whiskey on Hemingway’s grave
As a sign of respect
“But, I still like Fitzgerald better.”

“Ah! How can you say that?”
“Fitzgerald was more honest. He wrote about artifice, but he was honest about it. Hemingway wrote about ‘reality’ but it was full of artifice.”
