Daughter if you want it. Send me your snail

 abject thunder mixed with cruel warnings spell Fu Manchu in green
 underpants. this is dismal, saith Fu Manchu. the green is less than
 green of eyes, or the speed with which lightning dots out eyes. green
 underpants for the sinister scowling pumping machine in evil's quest.
 yet minions abroad allow for no restitution or calm change. well this
 must be dealt with, said Fu Manchu implacably, dilating on the terms of
 expecting a world at his feet. what artist could he be in the end,
 trying to outlast green underpants? suddenly the door flies open.
 Nayland-Smith and Petrie, guns in one hand (for both of them) and
 electric torches in the other (likewise both). we have found you in your
 lair, said Nayland-Smith, with steelly grey eyes determined to see the
 thing thru. you see my green underpants! shrieked Fu Manchu, as would
 you. keep a bead on him, Petrie, said Nayland-Smith grandly. and so the
 thunder and lightning crackled and thumped in the newsy air. fraught
 moment lingered... lingered... lingered... (wait for it)... lingered...
 trial balloons associated with progress, Bill Gates (self-taught evil)
 gtalks to mountains, Nordic skies on a snowy lump of earth
 inexorable days pass, exorable ones pass, winter turns to spring, spring
 exacts blossoms, blossoms make apples... now wait a second, said Fu
 Manchu (the enchanter of evil), apples as green as underpants (it makes
 him think)... tempus fugit, all by itself... this is England and
 civilization to save, barked Nayland-Smith, “Mrs Brown you've got a
 lovely daughter”, hummed Petrie with skittish delight. tall like a piece
 of ice, the diabolical doctor shivers. his green underpants are a warren
 of self-doubt. can the world be, um, conquered? he wonders in his
 weakness. rains lasts until it stops. dank London implementation of
 climatic conditions clutter the spellbound. I still have a bead on him,
 sputters Petrie. Nayland-Smith fumbles for his pipe. there's dottle in
 the bowl, which he expertly removes. dottle, pah! says Nayland-Smith. Dr
 Fu Manchu considers the chemical possibilities of dottle mixed with
 alchemical wonders, with evil as an antidote to the current situation.
 dire wind sounds the same old day. and when the day is done, more news,
 more wet news...

well, i just went through the stacks, and i guess i sold it. the closest thing 
i could find
was Ballantine paperback 23894, a novelisation of Sol Fried's 'film' _Super 
ManChu: Master of Kung Fu_
by Sean Mei Sullivan with an introduction by Bong Soo Han..

you're welcome to it, if'n ya want. it's mebbe kind of a proto-flarf ancestor, maybe like Lautreamont was to the 
surrealists.


the complete title is

SUPER COOL
SUPER QUICK
SUPER DEADLY
Super ManChu: Master of Kung Fu.

I like the idea of incorporating Sax Rohmer. Burroughs makes a passing snipe in 
one of his spoken texts.
the insidious racist trash of Sax Rohmer or some such, but i think there was a 
context there that's gone.
almost seems like a form of 'irenics' to juice these old exploitave wards, a form of forgiving maybe like in South 
Africa.

I'm not sure everyone would agree. At any rate, I thought you'd get a kick out 
of the authors' names on this one.
A Sullivan. Sol Fried? what a name! and Bong Soo Han! got to be the best writer 
name ever.

great poem Allen..

thanks, if I don't already have it. I'll check. I have a bio of Sax Rohmer on order from the library, which kind of 
excites me
