Headstone … The Walk

Headstone continued … The Walk Headstone In a graveyard nearing dusk the groundskeeper came upon Death, leaning heavily on his knot gnarl anguish handled scythe as he knelt at an almost hidden, fallen stone, shunned, just outside the cemetery, alone, at the edge of a large forest. He wept quietly. “Are you alright old man?”… Continue reading

So Then Sunday: You Can Call Me King (song + editorial)

(revised some 10-08) Six years ago I stopped writing “editorials”, long winded things imagining myself as some sort of opinion writer for important newspapers and instead went with song … parodies.
