Frank’s Friday Focus
Frank Chloupek holds a PhD in Physics from The Ohio State University. We have been friends since our undergraduate days at Michigan State University over 30 years ago.
Frank hates poetry
(except for any and all Limericks about a certain boy from Nantucket).
He provides challenges, topics, themes, rules to guide whatever gets put together on Fridays.

The Porkchop Show – #FFFocus
Hankering hard for Alisa’s fine porkchops, Victoria Parker’d her Tempest DuJour on the Via de Coco Shangela. Coiffed like theQuarrelsome Queenthat she was,She strodeto the Venus D-lite. Fed to the gills,Fully sated and slaked,She pulled out herrhinestone-clad clutch;And found that her cravinghad cost her far morethan just one Penny Trationand next Summer’s wage.
