Clouds are black,
the sun has set
and my phone is ringing --
neighbors can't forget
the music of a barking dog
The school is sad
as children chant
the "pledge allegience"
not understanding the words
Front page views point to why
a man killed his wife and
three children
I heard it was because
a mother-in-law moved in;
against the sadness
I have to grin
All the seriousness
and mess...
Where did you go
Joe DiMaggio?
You might have been
the last to know
that life can
be a game
