Nightjar
11-19-15

Shelter and water
I'm quoting my neighbors
Breaches is our daughter
According to the tedium of labors
For ones oilcloth
It doesn't pay to be wroth
By treatment with oil and pigment
For broth for our nightjar and nocturnal goatsucker
Driving my car like being as the parallel of the trucker
Short bill and wide mouth on my window sill
Come pride things go south at the Dung Gate
Our unsung hate
Just let it unfold....

Second hour completed
Messages of yesterday deleted
Rendering the fat of ones young
He was wroth and took great indignation
Time for me to back off and write it very slow
For my Hanani
The city is laid waste
Better now than never
Another turkey I baste
And to remember it forever
I mourned, wept and fasted and prayed
Before the God in heaven
Jaunty, easy and sprightly in manner
Plenty to work with
I go home and plug in my Christmas lights
Jaunty, rakish and dashing
Such smoke, don't even think about it....
