Short Salisbury Poems

Salisbury Steak, that horrible dish
When they served it at school
All cold and brown-ish

Salisbury Steak, it always was cold
With ghoulish potatoes
If truth be told

Salisbury Steak and squeaky canned beans
Cut up real short
In a sick palish green

Salisbury Steak, it’s worth a fresh try
You might even like
That Salisbury guy...

Cloven he sits in his past full of fear
On Salisbury Plains this Hades so near

Tee shaped stones in time gone fall
For fear laden stand they rose so tall

Scratch marks, chisels of a long lost past
Marks of the hoof inscribed to last

This Solstice we know in Summers heat
Time will drape, when again hoofed scrapes meet

Eating my microwaved Salisbury steak 
Pretending winter is gone
Saving pennies to move our trash from A to B
Humming a sad little song
Writing memos and signing them well
What would happen if I actually fell?
Arguing religion with a guy from Maine 
Taking my mind off the constant pain
Stepping out in the cold to smoke
Laughing life off like a joke
Tomorrow is the same as today
So I guess I might as well stay...
