Suddenly

Setting a New Bar

By Gerard DiLeoPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

Next?

And suddenly the persnickety

Man behind the counter disapproved of me

I wanted in but couldn't win

Couldn't win bemusingly

He denieth, me

When I was there he wouldn't care

To take my fare, he wouldn't dare

You're not the type of tripe we state

We need, ourselves, to matriculate

He replieth, me

I circled 'round and 'round, 'roundily

To come at him so soundlessly

And from my clear, dear house of glass

Centrifug'ly, my stone was cast

At Goliath, he

'T'was brain over brawn and a might bygone

Before brains became the liaison

Replacing old ways and rules of thumb

And allowed tripe like me to come

He complieth, he

Retired, not tired. Hippocampus, behave!

Make me rich! https://www.amazon.com/Gerard-DiLeo/e/B00JE6LL2W/
