Ticket 2 Ride

Born Jerome, last name Tome

Answers to Jerry, and even Gary

At work, it’s Mr. Jerome

Friendly, yet not so merry

—

A name is a bit of fame

To write your own fable

Or DBA if that’s your game

Soon, you are that label

—

Jerry is a man of mystery

No clearer in his prologue

A character in his own history

His life submerged in dense fog

—

Shapes, sizes and 31 flavors

We are puzzles and polygons

Killers, noncombatants, lifesavers

Are we pawns or emerging swans

—

Jerry Tome searches for his home

A journey to reveal his birthmark

Turn left where the buffalo roam

Every landmark, a new story arc
