![]() At the End of the RainbowA Poem by Brian F. LockardSome day, We get to an age, An age where every year There are two candles on your cake No matter what An age where one stops counting And realizes we all share the same
epoch But for those with a little extra
sugar in our milk, A pot of gold awaits And how does one acquire? If I knew, I wouldn’t be here Banging on this keyboard Like a diseased orangutan But there are theories passed down Like hereditary illnesses My secret, I keep a leprechaun in a cage Under my desk I feed him cooked oysters and raw
w****s I torture him with callow
sentiments and honeyed promises of brotherhood Until he screams vile obscenities In his little green overalls Hopefully one day He’ll just tell me where to find it, The gold But sometimes He gives me a decent line or two Like right now © 2017 Brian F. Lockard |
