Tropics Of Capricorn And Cancer Poem by Ted Sheridan

I have a very close companion
We are never apart
She owns an acre and a half
Of my landscaped head
During the last month or two
The body of her claim on me
Has reached maturity
We drilled for oil
We struck bad luck instead
She brokered her deal without options
While I had been more flexible
With my terms
And now here I am more concerned than ever
That she is prepared to foreclose
On all of my real estate___
I feel a cold hand freeze my thoughts
As my soul departs for Philadelphia
In a body bag of bankruptcy and red tape…
