To those who bought the farm & kicked the bucket

by trippetta TC   Dec 19, 2008


And like it does matter
Substance before
beyond above abuse
Trivial if it (like does this make me look fatter?)
ceases to flatter
I'd call a truce, but what's the use?
The secrets hold their own counsel
Cider vinegar is the cure
Any lingering sugar is the disease
But unlike my great grandmothers
Amish neighbors pull;
The Apple Grove
I'll slay the beast and
than resurrect him,
Like Bastet, many drowning
in a sour mash,
Is it revenge?
Regardless I am full,
And grow weary of this Faust like feast

    Love the last two lines. Any poem that refers properly to Dr Faustus automatically deserves another look.
