A twelve line poem for the Viking, who asked for one.

REAR ENDED

I moved to Phoenix to make money
And escape my wintry past.
Turned out I had colon cancer
And I lost my ass.

This was thirty years ago.
My ass has not returned.
But, given the alternative,
I don’t think I was burned.

My care was free,
I shouldn’t knock it.
No one's hands
were in my pocket.

Absolutely charming.

I'd tell you to fix that past-ass rhyme, but I like it too much the way it is.

Excellent work, my fair home dawg.

Valedictions,


-Paul

Assless in Pheonix?
Is this real? No Ass? No Bull?
On a 7 scale,

I rate this a full
6.99999.
only repetition seen
in one line.

Clarity rating
also a 7.
It's simplistic, but sublime.

Yeah, it's real, but that shouldn't matter.  On the other hand, thirty years passed before I wrote this little verse, so, apparently, a full on-AP resection and irreversible colostomy may have an effect on the psyche.
