The Best Poem Of Jeffrey Richards

Addressing Her Is What I Do

I now pay in brighter coins

and for every time that I do belong

I now weigh in fairer tons

go and tell aisha the deed's been done

I will sing on lighter notes

when I finally make it home

from the coast in a sailing boat

and this is weekend in its tone

And for your goodness

as well as for your kind works

addressing her is what I do

regardless of all your efforts

And if you could do that

in all your raging history

I would write to you a promise

this means if you did that

that means if you told a story

a story of juxtaposing

a story of why I'm waning

a story of why I'm crazy

a story of why I got shut off

each time I try to make a sentence

See, just meddle your ears

until you are old enough to trim your beards
