let’s call it benjamin

 let’s call it benjamin


what rhymes with tumour

humour?

was it made of dreadlock rhymes

did it grow in sunny climes

did it know its privilege 

to grow where words pay pilgrimage

was it really a pain in the neck 

as it left the world a wreck

bereft begone oh final switch

a poetry page turns in a ditch

and out of a dark and dismal place

his sun breaks out across my face

yes he was but he still is see

that tooth gap smile for you and me

telling us the things we aught to know

and like us all it was his time to go

but listening now to these christmas carols

i fight the urge to howl and howl

and that’s just how he would have wanted it
