Matthew Anish Poet Lyric

Londonesque

When the wicked
winter storms hit 
New York City(and they are indeed wicked)
     I head out to shovel snow
The wind - blown snow and the cold
     makes me feel as 
if I was in a Jack London tale
     He wrote of the 
wild 
He showed us how to survive 
   the elements
He ran for mayor three times
   Yesterday I saw one of hi books on sale
that I have never read
     I'll probably pick it up 
He told his story in writing
Now poets - tell yours!
