We have among us, here on the Den,

A creative writer that may belong in a pen,

He is as crazy as they come, far from being a proponent of Zen…

Of late he has spoken of being a pile of ash,

Dead & burned & buried under a potted tree,

Hey I don’t think you can get much more than that,

From life, free…

So Tony, I got to say, I think the 60’s were to you quite good,

As high as the proverbial balloon were you, seems you then should,

Now you make, with writes like that, me look to be totally sane,

And I appreciate it, as I have told these people so many times quite plain,

I am not insane, vain, or does my brain drain,

Even after being addicted to the internet & virtual cocaine…
