There once was a poet, or bard(e),
who enjoyed a nice plate of Swiss chard(e).

	    He went out one day
      (late autumn, the crimson leaves
          fall, like the Dow Jones)

          and figured he'd stay
       (winter's fingers caressing
            his pack of Luckys)

in his shed, in the back, avant-yard(e).
