NOTES FROM ALL OVER

The great detective Darkness Visible
Would occasionally give small sums
To St. Anthony who is the patron
Of those who seek. It bothered him
That he could never see Anthony plain
But just a certain shimmer of light
Which would accept his donations.
Later, seldom at a convenient time,
Anthony's pig would come trotting by
With a tax receipt in his mouth. Invited
To share a beer, the pig would accept.
