Kellie M. Reilly - Stick Figure Man

Beware of the stick figured man,
because no one can do what he can.
No event so frivolous, but fruitful,
because it was all a part of the plan.

His exuberance might be varied.
His tone and tempo might sway.
There's one way this goes and everyone knows
that they'll take it all, anyway.

No use for candor or limericks.
They laugh, trot, or wink to avail.
But the objective of stick man is to do what he can
to make sure that the mast sets sail.

So we all watch with feverish eyes
because he can make us all a fan.
Devoting himself to sharing his wealth.
Hail! to the stick figure man.

Kellie M. Reilly
