Just read a report that Glen Campbell has Alzheimer's Disease which is very sad news. I wrote this poem years ago but I think it is a nice tribute to the man. If you don't know the song Wichita Lineman I suggest you search for it...it'll move you to tears...so help me God....tears.
Glen Campbell
in front of
cheesy strings
sings mellow
lines
I drink my
cheap coffee
sitting back
easy
in this chair
listening
Jesus he
was good
so good
before he
commited the sin
of
Rhinestone Cowboy
it stained him
you know
but
damn,
for the past
half hour
I've been
playing
Wichita Lineman
getting a good
depression
on me
like a farmers
tan
I'm happy
but sad
listening
good tunes
can do that
this one is
a long distance
blown kiss
it's good
and I
am as
well
