THREE IN A ROW

The third day of gray

One at the end of the year

And two at the beginning of this year.

Safe to say the roads are clear

Black ice should not exist

People will roar to their destination

Sometimes without thinking.

The hospital is not happy

They like billing hours

Just like attorneys

They don’t extrapolate however

Like some lawmen do

They play it straight, although

One doctor told me I could

See him in five or six weeks

As he knew how to do the billing

The wind is from the south and

There are whitecaps slapping the shore

Why can’t we all be friends

I don’t want to be billed just because you can

And why can’t I call you by your first name

As you can call me by mine

I don’t ask you to call me Mr. Von Sloet tot Haarmann

Which was my last name before my dad had it

Shortened when he was naturalized. Anyway

I forgive you just as I forgive the gray. Why

Can’t we all be friends?
