42 Day Five

Jane Dougherty has come up with a theme for May . It is 42, now Jane describes it thus: “42 after Douglas Adams’ answer to the question of life, the universe and everything. The form is like the Cherita in its structure with a bit of added interest. The first line/stanza asks a question or makes a statement that begs a question, the second stanza/two lines sets the scene or the background, the last stanza/three lines answers the question or resolves it in some way.”

What’s the point?

Why try it’s easier to die

Or even smoke a joint

They won’t miss me if I’m gone

There is no point in going on

Me, a half remembered song.
