A Case Of Life Imitating Art?

 By C. Allen Rearick

____________________

I must admit

I’ve never really seen

“the fiddler on the roof”

though

I do have a friend

who bears the last name

of fidlar

I have seen him

on a roof

skateboard in hand

puerto rican flag

draped round his neck

just before crashing

to the ground

but I am quite positive

it was nothing like

the

movie.
