The Gent
A Gent See I
Ev'ry day doth he appear
In the corner of his face
Art drops of briny sorrow that adhere
His grizzled brace
O how sorrowful
That gent weeps
His sharp eyes turn dull
Looking back at me the gent turns to both of his ears
Complain may he but that matter does not change the years
Within my perplexity
I say with intensity
“Force’d I, to step away from thy cursed object
The object fear’d by most who connect
Doth thou think of me as that?
As dirty as the homeless cat?
Thou art mocking me
I will away from thee!”
So the old gent parted his way
Off to where he lay
