Rhapsody In Twenty-Five

"Rhapsody In Twenty-Five"  

Are we here?

Everywhere?

Or there?

Nowhere at all.

Here and there.

Elsewhere too.

Not now!

But when?

Better later than never.

Always to be.

Free in our slavery.

Liberty's dime.

Eagle's quarter.

Franklin's half.

Washington's dollar.

A Lincoln five.

How much is it worth?

Everything on earth and nothing at all.

Not large but not small either.

A paltry sum.

To a thumb sucking bum.

In existence by a minuend.

A friend ready to send.

It's a beginning's end.

That never fails.

Whatever helps ails.

Alot of garbage is thrown in the trash pails.

Cheers to hop's ales.

Skip over a hopscotch air chair.

Go and meet a toilet seat.

Don't forget to wash your feet.  

Brush the teeth clean.

And have a chest screen.
