Richard Jarboe Poems

Your pappy ain't your pappy,
But that's OK,
You play chess anyway,
But something ain't right,
...

On Good Friday,1861,
Fort Sumter was his first decision done,
Soon disintegration: father and son,
Lincoln made a choice and then,
...

It used to be here,
Now it's there,
A migration
Of my hair,
...

try to keep it shiny,
try to make it last,
every time you turn around,
things get funky fast.
...

I heard a word that knocked me down,
Then a right cross broke my heart,
Then an upper cut, sorely felt,
Was a shot below the belt.
...

Dedicated to Buddy the Vet.

VA hospital,
Tough situation,
...

There once was a man whose early life was drastic,
Then one day his heart turned to plastic,
And he became enthusiastic,
Bad times he forgot; good times he would list,
...

there are multiple questions pertaining to the concept,
'more fun than a barrel of monkeys.'

how big is the barrel?
...

I appeared here a while ago,
I had no say on the arrangement made,
Yet rules say you're not allowed to disappear
Until some death ticket allows you to fade.
...
