A Short Elegy for Warren Zevon by Bruce W NiedtWhen my ride is here,
I want to leave with class,
like you:
saving just enough wind
to cut your swan song,
with friends all around,
holding on to the morbid humor
that was your trademark.
So good night, dark prince;
may flights of werewolves
and headless Thompson gunners
sing you to your rest.
