Joe Maverick Poet Rhyme

Barry Crocker

On a limb was this lyric etched 
By leprechaun in rune & sketch.'
T'was not bawdy;But sober in tone 
From this wistful soul Who lived alone

To good Saint Patrick he made a plea
From the trap of treasure deliver me, 
In crock & jar I have full trove
Yet never am I to leave this grove.'

For the wicked witch left me much in gold
Upon her death, from a maudlin cold
Now I'm being held by the love of greed
And could not be pulled free; by the greatest steed.'

Yet I've read that God has made a plan
That I see regards a woman & man
But Leprechauns are a different breed
That trace descent from the shamrock seed

I'm aware your day is soon to dawn
So I plea your help on the coming morn
I need a loving sylph in green 
To lead me in love, to the modern scene.'

I repent of my former punk rock days
When I followed many a fad & craze
Yet I have this idea you can make a case
With God above who is full of grace

I beseech in hope, I need more faith.'
Yet if its not to be, my will I'll brace
Let me not languish, though; so folorn...
Just an old 'punk-crocker' tired & worn.!

Andrea Dietrich April 4, 2017 at 6:05 PM Hi Joe thanks for seeing my poem today. It was good to see one from YOU. I had to look up this Barry guy to see who it was. What does he have to do with leprechauns? Joe Maverick April 5, 2017 at 12:50 AM Hello Andrea, Its a play on words really the name 'Barry' is of Irish & Welsh origin, and 'crocker' from the crock of gold, also you may see he's an aging leprechaun, hence the term 'punk crocker'
