What is Said

What is Said

A Poem by Cass Ashe

I met a very special man today
who goes by the name of Mister Grey.
He told me of the time he sailed
upon crashing seas he never failed
until his back cracked all about
and he had to retire without a pout.

Next to him was a renowned chef,
who wanted me to call him Polnareff.
A frenchman in America with a thought
new to crafting dishes in porcelain pot,
but even he ran short of ideas fresh
and melded into the elderly mesh.

His mentor announced her presence
proudly announcing herself Prudence.
She was birthed to a rancher's farm,
for her goals she avoided no harm
and made a legacy of all food,
being all the happier in mood.

The corner of the group was raised up
by a coal miner named Steve Penup.
He performed miracles in caves
for men who loved his acting raves,
but he left his dreams for the mine,
never seeing the Hollywood sign.

A voice chirped from among them
from the young Jenny Klemm.
She showed her spaceships high,
sparkling imagination in her eye
with a mind greater than all,
she never sought to heed a call.

We could all hear more than what is said,
If we took time to see a cemetery head.
