Richard Cory: The Other Perspective

Richard Cory
Edwin Arlington Robinson

I stood there in awe,
Every time I saw him,
The best gentleman we ever saw,
Always clean and slim.

He rarely spoke a word,
But to our surprise,
His voice was soft as the song of a bird,
And caught the whole town’s eyes.

He was wealthier than a king,

For Richard

Somewhere, way out there
I know of souls who grapple 
With the Big Questions
The ones I only hear echos of.

Here on Earth, in my little nest,
I play parlor tricks of the mind
Looking for emptiness
And finding it winking back
As everything and everyone.

But I don’t fool myself
Into thinking it is significant
Or somehow adds anything 
To what a single

Price Control

In AD 301, a Roman Emperor made a decree
He fixed the price of food and clothes
If you sold for higher, there was a death penalty
If you hoarded those goods, your blood would flow.

Since no one can manufacture below cost
Sellers disobeyed the decree
Mobs attacked them, lives were lost
Not very smart of the citizenry.

The emperor had to

i'm dancing to cliff richard in the attic

hedonistic rock and roll lifestyle and never

Richard

This time of year I'm fondly 
reminded of Richard the 
old guys playing chess on 
lakeshore drive watching the 
cities shoreline freeze over 
popcorn stands chestnuts 
warms the hands on state 
street the Irish river at a 
stand still as the

The Late Richard Franklin

It was a day that classic Doctor Who fans would certainly hate.
We said goodbye to the man who starred as Captain Mike Yates.
His death was even more sad because he died on Christmas Day.
Millions of his fans have missed him ever since he passed away.
People loved his performances and Richard Franklin was his name.
Now that

Richard denied a romantic relationship with his neighbor
His mother found her lipstick mark and a sexy message on his bedroom mirror
Glad now she had accidentally snooped in there

The Late Richard Moll

People are sad because of the death of Richard Moll.
He was a talented actor who stood six feet eight tall.
People will be liars if they say that he was short.
Moll starred in all nine seasons of "Night Court".
He starred twice in "The Dukes of Hazzard" as "Milo".
For many people, his death was a devastating blow.
