Notes About The Poem

Inspired by my wife's art.  Illustration by L.V. Lawrence.

Unicorn

Four Three Two One

Four Three Two One…

Four, three, two, one, it's all clover,
Green, black and blue,
All the same to you.

Beer, whiskey, cake, juice-bar drink
Open a cup O' Kidney I think.
Pour me a tall one, leaf it all to me,
Clover-mint-sprout, rag weed invite.

Herbal tax on highs
Lows lax on thighs.

Hang from the watermelon rafters.
Four, three, two, one…
Let's all run for cover.
