Writes of Passage Poets write of the passage of time, rites of passing from baptism to dying.
I prefer to write of the passing of gas,
Licks to the funnybone along the way,
Good old knuckle rubs to the head,
Throwing up from the first good drunk,
When you embarrassed your date,
You lost all that fabulous great deal money,
Fired from goofing off at work,
Had kids you didn't care for at all,
Left this earth with nothing to show,
