as
one bad man to another
all these women
queuing up to curse
good Catholics
remind me of my grandfathers
both good Catholic philanderers
one of them had eight wives
and almost as many annulments
it's funny how the personal
always creeps in
especially with people
you never met
we're all sinners
and that is something
you can drink to
still, I do hope for a life beyond
at least for these my words
what odds?
they're a kind of box too
not merely memento
but travel document, eh!
hoping to pass without let or hindrance
as per satanic majesty's request
(some sympathy here please!)
all those women
queuing up to curse
to spit, pour venom, bile
they can't dig a hole
deep enough for this
one bad man
your petitioner
as in duty bound
ever humbly prays
Brilliant Kit.
