Practical Joke (For Harold) 4/26/1949-8/23/2015
Mayhem and Mischeif,
All rolled into one,
Seems all too brief,
But life rolls on,
Going for broke,
Time is a thief,
A practical joke.
You were the shy kid,
An artist,
A prankster,
Your hand hid,
Where your heart is,
No gangster,
I laugh,
To remember
Things that you did,
Just loved to have fun,
And choose it,
Sketch the sun,
And not lose it,
Pop rubber bands,
Throw eggs from a roof,
"Not" your pocketed hands,
Your face stoic, aloof,
You weren't the one, see,
As easy as Ex-lax, in coffee,
Without the runs,
A whistle on your lips,
A mindful of stunts,
A grin on your face,
You will pace,
The hallway of my memory,
Forever in short trips,
You were my ace.
