A song of the inner city...sad, but well-told with solid rhyme and meter. Sort of an urban version of a "Merc" ballad.

Joe

I appreciate the compliment Joe, Merc's ballads are in the great traditions
of the Irish and even the "bush ballads" of New Zeleand. He is a terriffic
formalist and there are few who enjoy formal, structured verse anymore,
let alone write it. Thanks again my friend. tom

Tom, Here's my response to Terry on my thread. It pertains to how much space you take on the board.

Merc,

re: Tom pushing people off. I figure he's old enough to be able to know that he is doing that and that it is not fair to all those who only post once in a while. I guess, Terry, that your mentioning to me is sufficient to motivate me to say something to him. As an anarchist, I'm sure you know how much I hate being anyone else's cop or daddy or conscience, but I will take on the task.

Thanks for stopping by to read the poem.

amo,

Peter
