Poem Analysis #1
The Punishment Which Fits the Crime
By Paul Isle
Maul the foot of yonder swan
Beyond toot of fan-bon-bon
For habble-han and regal toe
For hose-kink and horn do blow
Alas the lass of fondletard
Whisping sher ointment lar and lar
Analysis by Paul "Old Straw Hair" Horton:
Let me see if I get this right.
"The Punishment Which Fits the Crime" - a crime to be dealt with and a punishment which is fitting to that crime -- perhaps a similar act within the punishment ... one which resembles an act within the crime? Yes, indeed. Must be so. This is a perfect poetic item for it is imaginative and as you would say "saucy".
"Maul the foot of yonder swan": Perhaps the swan, a beautiful creature (a creature one would not necessarily associate with mauling, or even feet for that matter) ... perhaps that swan, though its true beauty, its essence (which does not include the feet) shall be spared for some reason (something having to do with the crime maybe), its foot, ITS FOOT will be mauled!!!
Is the swan a criminal? AND, the swan is off in the distance. We are watching it from afar judging its fate. "Beyond toot of fan-bon-bon": Not only are we watching the swan in the distance, "toot of fan-bon-bon" seems to linger before us, mysteriously, almost egging us on, seeming to say: "what am I"? or "why no capital letters in my description"?
"For habble-han" (Hand? Swans have no hands!!!!), "and regal toe" (ahh, yes).
"For hose-kink" (impotence) "and horn do blow" (as opposed to horn don't blow; a very common sexual paroxism) -- no idea even further --- CONFUSION GROWS --- Is the mauling the punishment or is it the confusion???
"Alas the lass of fondletard"
"Whisping sher ointment lar and lar": Only thing I can think of on this is retarded pirate-fondler bearing ointment.
Only other thing I can think of is that this poem describes someone who committed a crime of passion or perhaps of carnal sin and is not going to have its figure marred but instead its means of locomotion will be damaged, as God so often does to those who go beyond toot of fan-bon-bon. A good example would be the story of the swan in this story. Another good example might be Pee-Wee Herman.
