    Poem Commentary

    Here's another ferry poem. I'm not sure if this is a keeper. It's darker than the other animal poems I've done lately. There are folks like this, I'm sure... And, after all, what else would you expect from a weasel? This is still very rough. It has a couple prosidy issues and needs a whole lot more "W" words to keep company with Pricilla and Barney. Suggestions are welcome.

    Willie the Weasle

    Man, Willie the weasel walked like a king.
    He wielded a walking stick, derby and ring,
    With luck on his shoulder and wads of hard cash,
    The women winked wisely when he ambled past.

    That Willie the weasel was living the life,
    With pearl handled gun and spring action knife,
    He wandered the world with glamor and glitz,
    From back alley crap shoots to baccarat pits.

    He couldn't win peace and always lost love,
    He laid down the derby, cane, and his gloves,
    And cashed in his chips one cold winter day.
    But nobody wept when he went away.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
