The Underground Wall--- a Simon and Garfunkel Tribute

I wrote a poem on the underground wall
for Emily, whenever I may find her.
Her lips are bouncy like a red rubber ball;
you can tell the world so they'll remind her.

For Emily, whenever I may find her,
Punky's dilemma has now come to an end.
I'm Richard Cory and let me remind her;
he was my brother, and I was his dear friend.

Punky's dilemma has now come to an end.
The French Twist on Bleecker Street is fighting mad.
He was my brother, and I was his dear friend.
I'll hide somewhere they can't find me, writing pad.

The French twist On Bleecker Street is fighting mad.
Her lips are bouncy like a red rubber ball.
I'll hide somewhere they can't find me, writing pad.
I wrote a poem on the underground wall.

Thanks, John. That's good to hear. The idea is from one of Silent One's past contests. Check out his music pantoums!
