The Psychic Called
My brother is butting in
to his loved one's lives again
from on the other side,
and he won't leave
the psychic alone, either.
He's downright pesky
showing her two bracelets,
the charms he wants to buy.
At Christmastime, he says
he'll make rigatoni
with his special sauce.
Even though he wasn't very good
With emotions, as a father,
and relationships in his life,
between rounds of golf
with Bob Hope, he understands
things much better now
after a set of doubles in tumblers
at the 19th Hole, new knowledge
gives him joy, characterized
by good luck and fortune;
drinking with Rat Pack and JFK.
He dropped in, as they'll do,
through the Yorky pup, for a visit.
He was with her when she skated
at Rockefeller Center
on that Thanksgiving night.
And his sisters, he wants them
to stop grieving, because
when they are with his earthly
possessions, he's with them too.
Now, he's busy singing
Happy Birthday to himself.
Oh, the other thing,
he wanted to name his daughter
Caroline--and the psychic,
she's working for him now
and he is very charming
in his Brooks Brothers suit.
