In celebration of National Poetry Month we are posting a poem a day. Today’s poem was submitted by John Folcarelli who notes it seemed appropriate for a holiday week end following tax day. If you have a favorite, please email it to frank@mytownmatters.com.

Triolet on a Line Apocryphally Attributed to Martin Luther – by A.E. Stallings

Why should the Devil get all the good tunes,
The booze and the neon and Saturday night,
The swaying in darkness, the lovers like spoons?
Why should the Devil get all the good tunes?
Does he hum them to while away sad afternoons
And the long, lonesome Sundays? Or sing them for spite?
Why should the Devil get all the good tunes,
The booze and the neon and Saturday night?
