Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Divine Justice

   
	He tapped his cane and shook his cup
        A rich man tossed a Ben Franklin in 
                
          Lifting his shades, the beggar took a peek…                 
          fairly sprinted to the nearest bar 
            
             ~ as the Good Lord chuckled from afar

Hope you will take a look at my poem “Poetic License.” Hopefully you won’t mind that I used your name in the final line of my Sedoka. “Frost,” was the original option but I thought ‘why not one of our own.’
