Our Gang of Little Rascals: An Elegy (An ABC Poem)

Alfalfa
Buckwheat
Can't you play anymore?
Darla
Ever wanted to sing forever?
Froggy
Gone off your paper route?
Have you all wanted more?
Is there more in eternity?
Just stay for right now,
Knowing you're still remembered,
Loving the attention.
Mickey
No Barretta for you (yet).
Oh me, oh my - oh my, oh me!
Pete the Pup
Quite a bullseye!
Rife are the flickering images.
Spanky and Stymie
Take on more lazy days.
Uh huh
Very nice.
Worthy are all your names
Xeroxed on our hearts.
Youth giggles, and like a
Zephyr, flurries fast away.
