Fragonard # 21 by Helen Della Rosa

A clam, open slightly, is split in two,
on half is sent to the New York Times and
the other half of the clam is sent to
the Wall Street Journal, each sold for one grand

for a total of two-thousand dollars.
each half was fastened to a pole like dogs
attached to a wall with pinching collars.
A clerk at the Journal writes in the logs

that half a clam was purchased for the right
to eat the clam meat and make clam chowder.
the huge bowl of chowder was quite a sight
but the clam screamed a screech that was louder

than a whore taking a fat Johnson up
the butt, a Johnson as thick as a cup.
