My parents’ repeated refrain -
“Money doesn’t grow on trees.”
In my dreams, a lush tree grew
with leaves of high numbers,
nothing under a twenty.
On our 25th Anniversary,
our church threw
a surprise party.
After the pot-luck dinner,
a gaily wrapped gift box
sported a top slit, waving
a bit of green. As we pulled,
a chain of bills roped up
through the slot, coiling
ribbons of green.
I had seen “Money Trees”
as special occasion gifts,
but for the one and only
time, we experienced the gift
of “Money in a Box.”
There lies in Salem
An abandoned church
It's outer walls
Blackened to black
The story behind this
Goes back many years
In the witches trials
17th century fears
Two courts
Convicted twenty nine people
Nineteen were hanged
From high, like a steeple
On the day they were hanged
As witches they were tamed
The skies above became black
Its the day the crows came
The church became shadowed
Under their mass in the sky
Lured by the nineteen
Who were hung out to dry
What did they do
To be become so feared
In these days of the past
When anybody could be smeared
Every year
Is exactly the same
The skies become black
The day the crows came
