PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

just call me Ramblin' Rose

thought I'm sure that it does not

so readily show

know up front

that if I do not physically choose

to leave

instead

in my head

I just mentally go

tell me

and which do you think is far worse

its but a dear old family trait

daringly handed down like some less

than lovely curse

why just ask my dear old darling

of a Daddy

oops! I almost forgot

you can't

actually nobody can

cause you see

dear old Darling Daddy's

long been dead now

quite dead

quite cold

and thoroughly buried

sorry Daddy!.....................
