Walterly Matherly


 

Walterly Matherly
Spring in his steppingly
Clown upon stilts with his
Flower and top hat his
Head in the clouds of sea
Head in the sea of clouds
Head thinging thoughts out loud
Wild dandelion or a
Groomed rose or cherry tree
Bourgeoisie escapee
Or do we disagree?
Bumblebee humble a
Poet in word is a
Poet in deed is a
Poet indeed to me
Mathers a lot to me
Mind over Matherly
Soul over Matherly
Soul over all of we
Soul over all of we
Gathering gatherly
Sitting here weepingly
Weepingly weepingly
Watching we weepingly
While the while Walter he
Rises up over we
Red balloon rising free
Rise balloon over we
Wise balloon over we
Doesn't it Matherly?
Mathers a lot to me
Mathers a lot to we
