PIPPIN…I UNDERSTAND!
–
PIPPIN, a play on Broadway,
A musical, had much to say…
About wanting life
Beyond house and wife,
The ultimaye thrill foray!
–
In the end he chooses not death,
A deadly stunt for last breath…
Is left on bare stage,
Two kids, wife, arrayed
In skivvies…all he has left.
–
In a small way, I understand,
It’s exciting in faerie lands…
My train layout
Once worked out,
Concedes to real demands.
–
I can’t extend that-away,
To the floor it is a long way…
Gotta choose carefully
The right industries,
The right combination for “play”.
–
Embarrassed by sudden wealth,
I am beside myself…
At most maybe two
Or three engines do
With the rest staged upon a shelf!
–
As for my life, it’s grand,
Subject to the Lord’s command…
His love falls like dew
Every day is brand new,
Even PIPPIN would see mine as grand.
–Jonathan Caswell
