He and I of an age alike
Of a place alike
and a time alike.
He knew not me
Yet I admired respected
Never envied him.
How I regret his going
Passing gone,
clever words no more!
At times a wife resented
him mightily since
he drank and womanised
smoked and stank.
His children at times
adored abhorred him -
like I, mostly admired him.
And now like I, mourn him.
and a time alike.
He knew not me
Yet I admired respected
Never envied him.
How I regret his going
Passing gone,
clever words no more!
At times a wife resented
him mightily since
he drank and womanised
smoked and stank.
His children at times
adored abhorred him -
like I, mostly admired him.
And now like I, mourn him.

About this poem:
A man of words departed and mightily missed. With rain and autumn descending I hear his voice.Poems entered on these pages are copyrighted by the authors who entered them. They cannot be reproduced without the author's written consent. © Copyright 2001-2024. All rights reserved.
