 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

LONELY TEARDROPS



I checked the obituary
I'm still around
Looked in Memorial
My classmates long ago
Some have gone you know
I surveyed my important things
Painful the parting brings
Albums of long ago
For my kids too darn slow
Kane and Abel--Winds of War
All book read long ago
Do Wop Music--Classic cars
The Astronomy book about the stars
No one will appreciate my things like me
10,000 albums all of them played
Not to mention all the friends Ive made
Think I will stick around a little longer
No one it seems wants my stuff
And after all when you collect
You can never get enough
I'm going to stop shedding teardrops
Once again check the obituaries tomorrow
Not my choice anyway the days left I have to borrow
The guy whose black and living angry
Black or white life is short let it be
I ask no lonely teardrops shed for me
