,,,,This Crooked Man
This Crooked Man
There was a crooked man and he walked a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile.
He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse.
And they all lived together in a little crooked house
1840
The Longest Time Passed And To All – Not He;
River Time Flowed Seemingly Straight -A to B
Fates Shared; Sun Gilded Threads Coalesce Ornate.
Splendorous and Gorgeous; One Thing Obdurate.
Bah Humbug… He Declared With A Sigh,
Life’s Straight Line’s Quite Crook’d to My Eye!

Born with the capacities not the strength to be a Good Man
Grasping tools and flesh he fashioned idols as a Useful Man
Learning through mundane works how to be a Caring Man
Finding at least in the promise of his children a Better Man
Kneeling at the edge of The Forest done being Every Man
Bathed in life’s lastlight he at last can smile a Happy Man
