Father, Who Art In Heaven
my father was a practical man.
he had an idea.
you see, my son, he said.
I can pay for this house in my lifetime,
then it's mine.
when I die I pass it on to you.
now in your lifetime you can acquire a house
and then you'll have two houses
and you'll pass those two houses
on to your son, and in his lifetime
he acquire a house,
then when he dies, his son..
I get it, I said.
my father died while
trying to drink a glass of water.
I burned him solid mahogany
casket.
after the funeral I went to
the racetrack, met a high yellow,
after the races we went to her
apartment for dinner and goodies.
I sold his house after about month.
I sold his car and his furniture
and gave away all his paintings
except one and all his fruit jars
(filled with fruit boiled in the heat
of summer)
and put his dog in the pound.
I dated his girlfriend twice
but getting nowhere I gave it up.
I gambled and drank away the money.
now I live in a cheap front court
in Hollywood and take out the
garbage to hold down the rent.
my father was practical man.
he choked on that glass of water
and saved on hospital bills.
