there was a time
a few years ago
that i was in
the great city
of Philly
home of the
stake sandwich
Poe
and the
Liberty Bell
well one day
early in the morning
we went on a tour
and the first one to the bell
the old man
that led the tour
said he would look the other way
while we touched it
so i the man that i am
took my little fist and made a
little sound
then i took my little finger
and felt inside the crack
oh yes i almost got it stuck
would not that be something
for CNN or Fox the bush network
ah was that a time
or what
i did get my finger out
after a good tug

i see what i write and write what i see
