Gone

Hot, he once was. /

Then, deliquesced, he was gone. /

Humid spot and cane.

The clock floated free; /

the jack, pawn, car, and acorn /

“Rhymes with orange”

On Triskaidekaphobia Day, remembering when we were very unlucky.

Rhymes with orange

He bickers and whines. /

One is eight or nine. /

One wears a red tie.
