Long Bons Poems

FORTUNES READ the sign displayed
TRINKETS, CHARMS AND SPELLS

March 8th - International Women's Day The World Over

Down to the wire, before this
calendrical occasion doth expire,

My spoilt dog stretched in the patio,
Whilst i cook ,clean and sweep,

A metropolis

	Campuses empty for “World-Trade-Centers”;
	Hey, Two nights, Sunday’s off…your bill

So Saturday, when dad was off,
He drove mom...
