Matthew Anish Poet Ballad

Whatever

I have written for numerous 
   Tolkienesque publications
But I am a Jew!  
Why do I keep doing this?
Well Keats wrote about truth and beauty 
I find beautiful scenes in LOTR
  I guess I am an aging hippie
   I even use "Aging Hippie Bath Oil" with 
patchouli 
  The "craze" has died down 
     The 60's are long over 
Remember the song "It's Good to Be Alive"?
Well, it is!
