ROB

Rob was not allowed
to celebrate Christmas
so all year,
especially in July
would beg,borrow, lie, steal
for he had his own holiday
to star on the calendar
coming so near his birthday
made it his clear business
of his career as a major poet
was always in charge here
in Manchester by the sea
that he was his own rooster
with his heavy metal band
named Chanticleer,
he would cheer on proudly
and play as a professional oboist
a solo at the county fair.
