The Toaster
The Toaster
Have you ever seen the old gentleman?
In the dead of moons night cemetery.
His face white and pale like a skeleton.
The wind blew and flew involuntary.
Covered in a black robe from head to toe.
A black raven lands upon his shoulder.
Cawing a greeting of pain and sorrow.
He cawed a greeting back to his scolder.
Taking out a goblet he toasted it.
Lifting a bottle of Martell cognac.
He toasted it to a fellow poet.
Who for his life cherished the color black.
