A chapter in the book Poems

Counting

by Bill Schott


There was a man who always said,

"The best in life is mostly dead."

I wonder what he meant by that?

Why did he turn into a bat?


I know it seems so rudely said,

"The beast in life is grossly dead."

No secret to what's meant by this,

when that man is a walking fish.


The world, seems it has gone to bed;

our lease on life is ghostly -- shed.

As we shall lay us down to sleep,

counting werewolves chasing sheep.
