Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Starving Artist Takes the Stardust

  	       Baby love infatuation
                 did not become her station
               Her parents held higher expectations

               To a rising star she’d marry
                  on romantic love, she’d not tarry
                Yet her primal feelings she could not bury

                From college she brought home a starving artist
                   Who, after two days of trying his hardest
                first emptied the fridge 
                            ~ then parted with the stardust
