Song for Gene Malloy

Neville

Song for Gene Malloy

 

Because I love his words so

very much

I chose to write some more 

For a man ..

They all call Gene Malloy ..

Now maybe,

it had nothing to do with

the tone of his

voice, or the gentleness

of his old

fashioned and principled

ways, but more

to do with the sawdust and

pitch of his

poetry and candle wax or

the scent

of woodsmoke and sage ..

Tho’ I guess

it might just be his poetry

plus maybe

a drop or two of engine-oil

that got stuck

in the back of my throat

upon opening

yet another filled  page ..

            Dear Sir, (I do this all the time to big companies and Govt depts - are you either?)
            I am unhappy with the quality of your product. I feel more instruction should be provided.
            What was a futile search of both Google and Utube yielded no relevant results for Gene Malloy….and so on…
            Regards,

            • Neville



              He uses a pen name ................. Internally Yours sir N 🙂

              • Doggerel Dave

                Hi (may I call you Neville?)
                The supply from you of the claimed pen name would ensure I could fully appreciate the sensitivity of tone of his voice, the gentleness of his old fashioned and principled ways, plus the sawdust and all that.
                To deprive me of these would leave me bereft, anchorless, etc...etc...etc...
                I look forward to your further attention.
                Regards

                this is inked, testament
                to why only those truly invested
                should ever pen, tributes
                simply mesmeric in flow
                melodious, in poetic eloquence
                a great read!
                thank you, Hyung

                • Neville



                  My sincere thanks are on the way to your door brother Mek, along with the cheque 🙂
