Poems

Wanted

poemsAlert! Alert! Here is an amber alert

There’s a prowler on the loose and he is to be avoided and approached with extreme caution

Here now is a description of our subject

He goes by the name; the poet

  

He is known to lurk around in deep dark corners such as; your mind

And is likely to pounce with sharp piercing objects such as; the tongue

He was last seen in a Montreal Quebec city area

But is known to move around very frequently

 

Jackson, oh Jackson; that’s the place they say where he was born

But his restless rambling spirit would not be held down so he moved on

Creating havoc along the way by the provocative things which he says but…

  

He’s now wanted, by special request and popular demand

He’s known to frequent such far-flung

Places as; Georgetown, onward to Ewarton

Linstead and on through to Homestead

Cool shade and retirement as on through to Time-and-Patience

He had shifted the scene over to the Islands

 

Spent some time in Grand Cayman

But he could not stay, so he ditched the bay and parted

But, he’s still wanted

  

In recent times as the records show

He has been moving around busy on the go

Found and re-established ties in Chicago

Through the waterloo and on through to Toronto

But don’t you ever get it slanted

Cause he’s still very much wanted

By special request, and very popular demand
