" Lagniappe"

 Lagniappe √

Time tells tales to fool us all

Of sky's abyss and morning call

Shocked and shattered by the tale

No more roaring, lesser hale

Look around the last outcrop

Find, indeed, life's sweet lagniappe

Once is not enough for me

In this life, Lagniappe will be

Shout and barrel down the road

Change the tires, change the mode

Slam the door, prepare to pass

Life’s the wheels, Lagniappe’s the gas

Lagniappe seems to come in vain

Ricochet off the watchman's bane

Pound the fist upon the pavement

Knowing where and what the rave meant

Raging seas and falling toast

Still the one that meant the most

Settle now into the rocket

Metronome in my back pocket

Metro-dome to hold the floods

Lives and nests and narrowed bloods

Bubbling up from pale to first

Knowing now is none the worst

Tickled to the tallest flight

Know it well, Lagniappe's own right

Time tells tales and some are true

Lagniappe for so very few
