From the anthology, Scenes From the Cerebellum, a work in progress. 

Just saw the Top 100 Poets list here at PoetrySoup. Great poets and poems all! I recommend them highly!  Just wondering ... if there is any soul out there in PoetrySoup land who is actually reading this, how does one crack  the top 50? Or the top 100 Top Poets list? I already understand that life at the soup is a reciprocal enterprise, if you give praise you get praise. Still, just wondering....

 

Finding Repast At the Front Door

Word Lyric For Music #3

“Finding Repast at the Front Door”

Melissa and her sister are on the floor,
Dancing in circles without shoes, as before,
Dancing like tomorra’ might not shine,
Sipping white whales and bottles of red wine,
They were seeking a brace of yes men, heretofore,
Now they’re finding repast at the front door.
Older dudes with cigarettes dangling,
Said no with wives in tow;
Melissa and her sister stopped angling,
And found the limbo stick set down low,
They begged Tired Ed not to lower it anymore,
Now they’re finding repast at the front door.
Late night promises made with a glass of rum,
Melissa’s sister dancing to a delirious drum;
She’s beckoning the boys to get down low,
And with wives in tow, as before,
The old dudes and Tired Ed got down on the floor,
But Melissa and her sister, heretofore,
Were finding repast at the front door.
