Mister Golightly

... is wearing his tall white top hat 
      Where his brains should be 
Wearing his rainbow bow tie 
      Where his vocal cords should be 
He fancies his dragon cane in his hand 
No surprise his shirt is Hawaiian Kine 
Made of silk with coconuts and palm trees 
For design 
He wore brown khaki pants with suspenders to hold them up 
His socks were knee high green with tassels on top 
But his shoes were the best, better than the rest 
                      All shiny and pointy 
And ready to dance ...

Dance away Dance away Dance through the night Dance, Little Bear Dance away Dance away Dance through the day Never stop dancing Dance away Dance a way Dance away Dance all ways always all ways Dancing without a care
As He chops away, chops away chops away time He sizzles and grills fantastic meals from his mind For he fancies himself a cook not a chef Being chef just seems too sublime

This is kind of like 3 poems in one. Each stanza so different in style. I especially liked description of him.

Thanks for stopping by. Yeah, that was me in another life, about my 30's.
