cab


by horace p sternwall



if homer were alive today he would drive a cab
and know when to listen and when to gab
he would drive through the wind and snow and rain
as the tears of the world flowed through his brain

if shakespeare were alive today he would ride in taxis
and listen as the universe spun on its axis
he would soak up the wisdom of the bards behind the wheel
and their immortal words he would plunder and steal

if i was the emperor of spain
i would stand on the corner in the rain
i would hail a cab no matter what it cost
and say take me to the corner of damned and lost
