Seeing double, seeing trouble
Is it for real?
Is it for real?
No, it’s not funny
With bated breath
I sense the oddity
It sends a shadow of doubt in the head
What of today’s
bread !
It seems queer
Of what’s on offer
No, not just surprised
Even thinking
and with a pinch of
salt
It seems weird
Two of a kind
making copies
Of each other’s hand
And in 3-D!
An entirely weird thread
The gravity of
the situation
Knocks on an unsuspecting
A landscape of
wonder!
Tell me what’s the
plans
No goody-two-shoes
Just the plans
Just tell me the plans
It’ll be double the fun
Don’t weigh in the dumps
It’ll turn out to be a good run
If we play our cards well
It’ll be swell!

I appreciate your exploration of this drawing. It is an odd image. And yes, everything works out if we play our cards well. Sometimes, even when we don't. Nicely penned, Hank.

ReplyDeleteYour words are as mystical as the pic!
