A man and a woman are playing dominos.
The tiles look pretty, all in rows.
The woman wears second-hand clothes,
but the man has pigeon toes.
“Why don’t you write a novel like Joe’s? ”
“You know I don’t write prose.”
“Hey, before the stores close
should we buy beer? My thirst grows.”
“No, you and everyone knows
Beer makes me sick. I can’t tolerate those.”
“Ah, so it goes…;
I was reading this poem of Poe’s
last night about crows,
or was it a raven he chose? ”
“I never read the pros,
Though I once read a book of Defoe’s.
And some lyrics of Don Ho’s.
“Your erudition shows.”
“Let’s go catch some shows;
I’m weary of Dominos.”
