This is my oldest poem that I have posted to date. It was created by a list of phrases and inspirations from the local phone book yellow pages. I love it.
So much for your sisters wedding at the drive-in
Prefabricated problems are nursed at the bar
Fused by the pulse of live music to your heart attack
After the purchase of pain pills
From the gloves behind the counter at Snyder's Drug
With your valu-rite price card at the drive-through
Is that prescription for here or to go?
We'll consult the Gastro-Intenstinal Associates
At the nurses station before they get to the tavern to meet you
You roll over in coronary demise
And you cry your way to Dibbles and Son Remodeling
Before having your eyes checked in our optical organization
For your television and service repair
Walgreen's won't take you anymore
So you turned your ass to the Junk dealers and their scrap metals
Build a solid rock future back together
"Over thirty years experience in furniture restoration"
None today because U-hauls taken you
To Alpha-Crematory by Gaffney-Bush Funeral Home Directors
The pediatrics dismissed you on terms of adolescence
No embalming fluid for you
And now you're sitting in the crematorium
But you wish you were in a HELLO sauna.
