jojo


by dog e relaford




jojo went down to the river
to buy his poor dog a bone
but the river was dry
no birds flew in the sky
and he was all alone

jojo reached into his pocket
to find a nickel or a dime
but his dog ran away
and had nothing to say
and jojo was out of time

jojo went down to the city
to see what was going on
in the courthouse and jail
there was nothing for sale
and he silently watched the dawn

jojo went down to the seashore
to watch civilization collapse
the best and the worst
the last and the first
are now just splendid chaps
