Boyce Brandon Harris – Bright Brooklyn Bruiser

 

(alternately titled: Zayda born April 9th, 1929)

 

e'er since his birth,

his daring do didst not abate
the penultimate most spectacular

concrete incontestable product

constituting biological offspring

developing, fashioning,

and incubating gene nee us,

he unwittingly didst create

 

encoded whence he got conceived

approximately begat circa

July nineteen twenty eight,

and hence upon April ninth

 

two thousand and eighteen

cometh denoting exceptional great

ness among kith and kin innate

awareness to take stock and celebrate,

how a series of fortunate events

commencing with a date

to Harriet Kuritsky

(at that time, yet to pledge her troth)

 

accepting storied handsome fellow,

whose constitution sturdy as "forest" timber

(definition of groom) to be lawfully wedded wife...

until death do them part)

unwittingly marriage didst emancipate

my mother, who met a awful, cruel

and terminal undeserving fate,

which tortured demise, the grim reaper

 

gladly, gleefully, and glibly

held her steadfast

thru death decreed grate

a permanent life sentence,

she vehemently did hate

and fiercely fought tooth and nail

(unimaginable to me,

thee sole son), how

agonizingly bitterly clearly irate

 

such suffering wrenched, wrought, wrung
August marriage permanently

cleft by malicious, nefarious,

and opprobrious tongue

no heroic measures, only lamentation slung

upon the livingsocial clinging,

where grief rung

 

every last ounce,

though thru each passing year
thy mum gone thirteen orbitz

round the sun, that shear

ring raw emotion

still persists in concert with lear
ring grimace of deathly hallows, 'ere

obstinate heart ache lessened now
since papa found bliss

in which to steer the prow
of his four score and nine

aged ship of state row
wing (or more or less peacefully drifting)
berthed in consonant with vow

wills - a staunch spirit does wow!
