    once there was a man named billy

    but we called him gandalf

    he was a trucker

    one day his truck ran out of cargo

    and he pulled aside for good

    he had been driving a long time

    and his hair had grown long and white

    he curled up in a barn with his little white dog

    named snowy

    one day i meditated on a log

    and he came up to lie to me

    about walking through portals to jesus

    i realized then that gandalf was out of tricks

    a year later

    his truck still sat like a cow in a field

    and billy was desperate

    he wandered in the rain

    and was smashed by a car

    billy lies still in a bed

    crumpled to the bone

    he'll finally get his portal to jesus

    i just hope his karma takes him out

    insted of leaving him in

    I don't know why, but this really took me in...I kept wanting it to have some sort of rythm for some reason, but yet I enjoyed the "free verse" aspect of it at the same time. Thanks for a good read.
