*ted Is Dead Or In The Very Least Decomposing

Rating: 3.1


Ted is dead
We just received the apologies
For any disruption in communications
That may have occurred
Between Heaven and Earth

First it was his dog
She was sixteen going on
One hundred and twelve
Her tumors had become laced with
Salmonella peanut butter and pistachios

The sickness of old age
Began eating at her fragile nerves
Devouring her tofu belly
Therein diminishing the odds
Of any possible return

Ted is dead
Ted’s dog is dead
Ted’s poem is dead
But…Ted is survived by his words
From a past life as a political junkie

Ted will never die Nor his poems They will always be alive To tell the world That there was a man Who loved his cannine More than his own wife He made a monument Larger than life On a mound of Salmonella chicken and pie Long Live Ted Long Live his poems LOL lovely poem Ted a tenner from meeeeeeee Anjaliiiiiiiii
