FROM BAD TO WORSE, this awful verse calling all runners get your hot digs here acting out your hero set aside your fear pick a crypt to idolize lie beside your fave look beyond mere existence into a fab’lous grave perhaps a 5k run will hasten your demise then you may have eternity more quickly as your prize with the lengthening of ages cemetery’s in a funk maybe running to your end’s better than getting drunk dancing like Bojangles singing as Ethel Merman tromping ‘round the yard as Munster’s monster Herman antics like Charlie Chaplin falling as Buster Keaton will halt the cemetery’s demise lessening longevity’s cheatin’ ©Virginia Salter October 18, 2014 inspired by news article re. Peoria’s local cemetery’s 5k run as they were trying to get people to buy their plots Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
