A BOY NAMED CHRIS











For Chris Russo

A boy named Chris
Once asked me this
"How do you write such things?"
I suppose I just
Squeeze my brain
And see what luck it brings.

Then I crick my neck
And wink my eye
Bend an elbow
And let out a sigh
Clasp my hands
Chew my gum
Wiggle my ears
And touch my thumb

A boy named Chris
Once asked me this
Are there many things that rhyme?
I'm not quite sure
Don't really know
But I'll try from time to time.
