Frederick Feirstein Poems
Wheeling down Main Street in technicolor light
Are Disney's heroes, our mythology,
A comfort in the middle of the night.
...
Blind at first to his self-destructive drive,
The first world war would terrify and thrill him.

...
Storytellers know what scholars learn
That we in time, because of time, must burn
And to the womb of Death we must return.
...
In comedies the lucky couple wed
And didn't hide but, wakened, frolicked in bed.

The Best Poem Of Frederick Feirstein
Disney on Parade
Wheeling down Main Street in technicolor light
Are Disney's heroes, our mythology,
A comfort in the middle of the night.
Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Uncle Donald help.
The children of America are sick
Of war, cultural suicide, and greed.
Snow White, Bambi, Lady and the Tramp,
It's midnight now, help us in our hour of need.
You helped us with the witch's oven and
Her poisoned mushrooms. Goofy, Pluto please.
Those childhood traumas were much worse than these.
Teach us to be courageous and naïve.
