SONG FOR A TIME

A child dreams
a song for the ages

wanted:
an outlaw

wishing for a smoke
on the verandah

a selfie
for a former diva

hiding her Havana
from her husband

a guy in blue denim
thinks he's the law

and captures the outlaw
with a lasso

A screw driven carpenter
nails himself to a stake

The favorite giant panda
is let go

Even fisticuffs won't save
the prisoner

Rain is a foreclosure
for the a bird watch

The kid's song
wins a world wide prize.
