Frank & Ralph
The Retired Guardian Angels Of Jesus
By John Francis Pearring, Jr., adapted from an ethereal script by Ipomoea
From left to right,
that’s Ralph and Frank.
After we took the picture,
Frank insisted Ralph’s name
come first in the title.
They would not pose
for another photograph.
Angels are difficult to please,
and polite to a fault.
(If you only knew how clever was their compromise.)
