In Name Only
A Poem of the times by E Lloyd Kelly
In name Only
Everybody sitting around was a-sighing
As some merely sat and rolled their eying
Because you were there a-baby crying
If you’re crying, they were saying
Then you’re not really dying
It was diamond Golding and his wife named - Crystal
Whose daughter Ruby was in the sick stall
But upon finding themselves both penniless
And wanting their child to have the very best
Went out and sold off all their asset
Yet the proceeds being insufficient
This prompted them to sign the consent
Which also permits the dueling picker
That same one with the sterling silver clipper
To chop off her hair to off - pay the piper
Just another #poemofthetimes By E Lloyd Kelly, the-writingelk.
