An allegorical poem and my return from several months of not writing due to the efforts that had to be taken to fend off the tax man, the mortgage company and the my own depression.

::::::::

A rooster, a roadster, a prankster and a bankster

All sat down for a meeting with a gangster

The rooster said "a harem"

The roadster yelled "more oil'

The prankster said "hell no'

And the bankster "fuck 'em royal"


The gangster hired the prankster

And soon they set the rules

Pay me now or pay me later

Either way you lose!

This was oh so jolly

This was oh so slick

The rooster ruled the coop

With his badge and black night stick


The eggs were all pure gold

The hens were all so stupid

They did what they were told

And voted for the cupid


They took the bankster's plastic

Crossed streets to big box stores

Everyday they'd lay their eggs

But soon were sleeping on dirt floors


The pranksters took their cut

Saying all would soon be good

When the hen's were lead to slaughter

They took solace in that they'd done all that they could


The prankster smiled

The rooster crowed

The roadster laid some rubber

The bankster took a pleasant stroll

Then ate a hearty supper


The gangster did what gangsters do

Laughing at the blood and fun

Life's a game, you're all such fools

Now my work is done
