Is Grant's Tomb made of granite
(I took for granted that it was)?

On the tomb is set in stone
"Let us have peace (leave us alone)"
Nothing taken for granted
Former president and his wife
Unhaunted nor enchanted
Residents of the quiet life
It would appear so I hear

A rolling stone if not granite
A madman making the best
Glad to be but sadly out west
As from another planet
However would not know because
I never got that far east
Have not gotten anywhere near

But to Yucca Valley at least
Where having gone there still here
Though in age so far away now
In the way out will be how
Outliving I outlove my fear
A near miss but this is it
For me from out here it seems clear

Taking for granted nothing
Making the best of everything

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
