Comedy -- Tragedy

By GC SMITH

Is my conceit

full comedy

of the fool?

Ah, but the fool

can make dark days light

and maybe worth the living.

Should there be no fool

that could indeed be tragic

'cause we need respite from the dark

If I lose what

I never found,

is that tragedy?

If I look and look

and finally find nothing,

comedy will have been my life

But perhaps I'll stumble

upon something worthwhile

and avoid comedy or tragedy

Perhaps I'm simple enough

not to know what's comedy or tragedy,

perhaps I'll wander through life not knowing

Sum-bitch

By GC SMITH

Sum-bitch slipped the hook

while I was gathering wool

stripped bait and swam away

left me standing here the fool

I know that he was very large

that fish what shook the hook

'cause ripples in the water

keep expanding as I look

So I guess my tonight's supper

is beef jerky from a box

it sure won't be that salmon

smoked, sliced thin as lox

'cause, that sum-bitch got away,

it's still swimming up the stream

where it will live another day

to spawn young to take my bait

Those offspring fish won't get away,

I'll pay atention to what I do
