Hiccup

Skinless hiccup
Witless sit-up
Tangled tango
Heartless banjo

Senseless savior
Sad behavior
Wacky construct
Tacky pin-up

We walk in terror.
No runs, no hits, no errors.
Bitchy, bad news bearer.
Instant replay, double header.

Summer under blanket.
Sailing dreamboat, sank it.
Radio fever, crank it.
Grab my chain, then yank it.

These days soon a memory.
Tea leaves steeped in reverie.
Hopeful, Open Sesame
Silent, solemn elegy.

Ride along with Dad.
Vinyl upholstery made me sad.
Sticky, wistful thoughts I had,
In rear view, don’t really seem so bad.

Cleaning out the stuffed ashtray.
Push in the lighter for another day.
