DRAMEDY


 
A man so poor he is forced
to sell the part in his hair,
permanently damaging
his once near perfect coiffure,
decides life is meaningless and sad,
tries to kill himself
ala Sylvia Plath
but when he puts his head in the oven
he discovers he is out of gas,
his supply having been
cut off for nonpayment.

His mood darkens
when he is charged with
casting pearls before swine,
it brightens when he inherits
10 million dollars
from an unknown Nigerian uncle.
Tragically, the next day
he is killed
slipping on a banana peel.
