Sad Song in a Minor Key

Appostraphy
Looking down at me
From skyward heights
While here below
Young and old
Belt out tunes
On a highwire.

Asterix
What did I miss?
Were you at the show
Where we reigned, I know
You were lovesick
And missed the trick
When you got into your flow

Adjoining word
Have you heard
The kerfufel downtown
As the Saint Swithen's Day clown
Has broken his skull
Like an appocalypse gull
Flown down from the clouds.

Full stop
It's time to drop
And strike for
Equality The door
Lies open to us
The consumer race
And to hell with the poor.
