Claire 2 - Simply For Claire

Claire 2 - Simply For Claire She showed me her dead sister’s poems They filled an old wooden cabinet There were hundreds no thousands Each hand written on paper not typed It was obvious by looking they were skilled The person who wrote them I’d actually read a few poems Not these but the ones in the book The book published by our company It was responsible for the airport They figured publish a book And print some photos and its fine The local inhabitants will agree And move away from their home After being paid double the value Of their land and dwellings It was a terrific offer the best For the company were the best That’s why I worked for them I was the best and got results They sent me to the village To finalise the sale and all Just one little home remained There was a small problem The home owner couldn’t sign Over her house and land It’s not that she didn’t want to Or was out of town She was dead killed outright It was a car crash and that was that Her sister was now in charge Of the affairs and estate Maybe she planned it or not I can’t say but hey What do I really know? I could’ve easily got her squiggle On the three forms and then moved onwards The airport would’ve been built State of the art and much needed Tens of thousands of flights a year Multiple millions of passengers It was an awesome project Designed by the best But those poems were simply… …I cannot describe them MAJOR INSOMNIA CORPORAL SLEEP Nick Armbrister and other writers
