musing
it’s been a terrible week
in the news
but personally interesting.
refuse to bow down
to the blues,
so prompt the muse
for glad tidings:
like an airplane ban reducing emissions.
food scarcity breeding frugality.
they pay us to borrow money.
an endless supply of federal honey.
wealthy athletes running ’round
bereft of a rapturous crowd
was charming to watch on telly.
and as i socialize
i no longer have to grasp your hand
or kiss your cheeks for weeks.
elbowing is cool.
working from home, sleek.
but i do go out and
in the public toilet yesterday
a bodybuilder screamed
hey fool!
don’t you know the sketch?
you are striding out
not washing your hands –
you got five seconds
you wretch.
the skinny man
hauled his fingers to his nose,
inhaled through his nostrils
and obliged.
i did have a shit big fella.
you are right he replied.
meekly
that was the end of that…
it’s been a terrible week
in the news
but personally interesting.
all in all i’m amusing on
the brighter side of strife.
