jerry was a jumper
johnny was a joke
judy drove them off a cliff
but it was all smoke

fred was a fireman
frank was a player
frieda watched the skies at night
and said a silent prayer

darrell was a dreamer
and waited for a break
davis preached the end times
but the earth did not shake

polly was a poet
and carried a little book
parker hired a housemaid
but could not find a cook

they all got together
on the fourth of july
and drank beer and played softball
but did not know why


next poem
