CONDOLENCES

 The Heart mourns.

The Eyes tear.

The Hands clasp.

The Knees weaken.

The Mind recalls.

FRIDAY 13

 

Is 13 your lucky number?

As you relish TGIF.

OR, do you spend this day in slumber?

With Nightmares of the bereft

 

Is it a Black Cat?

A misplaced Ladder?

A conical Black Hat?

A Mirror shattered?

 

Nah, don’t fret,

Just another day in Clover.

Would you take that bet?

Oh, wake me when it’s over.
