bother on main street


by dog e relaford



albert was an animal
boris was a bird
charles was a canteloupe
and had the last word

davy was a jones
eggie was a plant
fred was a philosopher
a disciple of kant

george was a gourmet
harry wore a hat
even in the howling wind
how about that?

jake was a jewel thief
a knight in tarnished armor
jenny won the eighth race
and ran off with a farmer

lenny was a loser
molly was a mope
nellie spent her lonely nights
in the bathtub smoking dope

ollie had opportunies
that pete never possessed
the queen was arrested
but the jester confessed

ricky was romantic
shirley strung him along
you never knew when tony
would break into song

uncle joe had issues
with his very special friend
willie jones had had enough
and wished it all would end

excuse me for a moment
while my youth fades away
i will meet you at the river
and hear what you have to say
