Marc O'Brien Poet Rhyme

Light Conversation Lunch

A lesson needed to be taught 
This wandering wolf thought 
Prowling the area Birmingham flats 
Saying “we are not getting into that” 
Finding the villa owned by Astin 
Gate code giving without the asking 
Went up a few flights 
To have afternoon conversation with bites 
Ringing the doorbell 
“Are you gonna sell?” 
Right off the bat the wolf questioned 
It was the first stage to the Wolf’s lesson 
Trying to find out if Astin was in debt 
Something he was trying to forget 
Feeling invaded 
Astin made the wolf do some waitin 
“What’s your price?” 
Inquiry was very nice 
“Are you ready to go downtown?” 
Wolf was let in, Astin showed a frown 
For the first half 
Two of them had a laugh 
Now it was time to drop 
Excuse being there are nice shops 
“You all are very good 
Kicking the ball around like you should 
You need to better your skills 
And forget about the high profile bills” 
Wolf explained as the tea arrived 
Astin knew he was giving it his best try
“I am leaving here with one goal 
Am I being honestly cold? 
Or are you playing very bold?” 
Back in the dungeon 
Doing some watchin 
Working the financial books 
Spicing them up like the money cook 
“Who is going to be with me down here?
Winning matches without any global fear” 
Canary wondered shedding not a tear 
“Will it be the angry buzz?
Or the west ham that was? 
There may be some nice cherries 
For Astin whose villa must be sold in a hurry”
