For All It's Worth

 


Hay bales sunning naked


in an open field


Trash barrels Polka dancing with


no lids


Only one was granted


random access


Converts carry toxic candles


to their own demise


Koalas sing a happy birthday


song a cappella


It’s forty miles and a toothache


to the next watering hole


You sense the senseless


on the last day of school


Be-bop doo wap wails


at the sock-hop


Ridiculousness rides the rail


to elsewhere


Tangerine pustules mar


the surface of the Sudetenland


They told you to hold on


then hung-up the phone


What’s the use, you say?


Tomorrow there’s a chance


for rain


How many poets does it take


to fill the restroom?


Get a broom and sweep up


the rest of us


And you thought van Gogh


was insane


Sometimes Mondays and punctuation


count for nothing


Do it all over again


Rinse, repeat…


Three frogs wearing bowler hats have no feet


You’ve been warned


no more smart phone for you



                    -30-
