mORE kENNEDY THOUGHT

tHEY LINED UP
FOR HOURS
TO PASS A COFFIN
DRAPED WITH A FLAG
RED WHIE AND BLUE
THE COLORS HE KNEW
THE COLORS HE LOVED
THE COLORS HE FOUGHT FOR
WITH A PEN AND STRONG WILL
tHEY SAID ITS THE END OF AN ERA
THE END OF A LEGACY
ALTHOUGH THE BODY IS GONE
THE SOUL WILL REAMIN
IN THE MINDS AND HEARTS
OF THE MULTITUDES
WHO VALUED HIS LIFE
AND ALL HE FOUGHT FOR
ALL HE STOOD FOR
aND THEY WILL MAKE
THE DREAM LIVE ON

i REALLY HAVENT WRITTEN ANYTHING YET THAT i LIKE..BUT i AM USING THE BLOG JUST FOR NOTES...AS i THINK ABOUT STUFF. tO CONDENSE HIS LIFE...INTO A POEM, SO QUICKLY AFTER HIS DEATH...AND COME UP WITH SOMETHING SPECIAL IS NOT EASY. i WILL KEPP ON TRYING..AND EVENTUALLY, i WILL FIND THE RIGHT WORDS, AND THE RIGHT METER, THAT HE DESERVES.

i WENT WITH MIKE SHOPPING TODAY.....IN THE AREA WHERE JANSEN USED TO BE....TOOK A LONG TIME TO GET THERE.....THE FIRST DISAPPOINTMENT WAS BREAKFAST..WITH ALL THE FAST FOOD PLACES THAT ADVERTISE THAT THEY ARE IN THE REST STOP, ONLY BURGER KING WAS OPEN, AND THEIR CHOICE WAS VERY LIMITED. I ORDERED A SO CALLED DOUBLE CROSSANT BREAKFAST SANDWHICH...WHY IS IT DOUBLE???? i KNOW, BECUASE THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS CHARGE DOUBLE THE [PRICE ON A HIGHWAY.....THAT'S WHY. IT WAS SMALL,...THE EGG PORTION WAS SQARE AND LOOKED LIKE A YELLOW SPONGE WE USE IN THE SINK...AND TASTED ABOUT EQUALLY AS DELICIOUS..tHERE WERE TWO PIECES OF THIN CHEESE THAT WAS NOT MELTED..AND A SLICE OF SAUSAGE AND ONE PIECE OF BACON. TRUTHFULLY...THERE WAS NO BACON, SAUSAGE OR EGG TASTE. I WILL WRITE TO THE HOME OFFICE OF BURGER KING...IT WAS A SUPREME RIP OFF AT ALMOST 6.00 WITH NO DRINK OR POTATOES....ITS SIZE, PRICE AND TASTE.....MADE ME THINK OF INSERTING THE SANDWHICH RECTALLY, INTO THE SERVER....
THE SECOND DISAPOPINTMENT WAS THAT THE PITEM I ORDERED AND THEY CLAIMED THEY HAD.. WAS NOT WHAT I NEEDED...AND, ALTHOUGH, THE WOMAN PLAYED DUMB, SHE KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A 5FT AND A 6FT TALL BOOKCASE........
ON THE WAY BACK FROM OUR ORDEAL, MIKE AND I STOPPED FOR A NATHANS HOTDOG...THAT I MUST SAY LIVED UP TO ITS REPUTATION, AND ALTHOUGH STILL A RIP OFF, AT LEAST, IT TASTED GOOD.
