Poem Artwork


 

Still here,

He did fear,

Life without a sneer,

If only the sky would clear…

 

Belly over his belt,

Worried what he felt,

But not to be hypocritical,

Not even on 666 had he knelt…

 

His dog wet from a shower,

Came into his house with a glower,

Left out in the rain,

To grow like a pungent flower…

 

Life goes on,

Don’t need brawn,

The curtains open or drawn,

The conclusion of our lives is not yet a forgone…

Hey...
Just another day in Paradise down here. 666 is gone now so we'll need another omen to predict upon. Guess this one too will make a little money for the naysayers.

Mass hysteria grows stranger and stranger doesn't it? I'm glad your day was bright, well except for puppy. He sounds a little soggy. :)
