Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Light Verse

A Poem Named Sue

Where did our common sense go?
Did we throw it overboard?
Did starting over call for
Common sense to be ignored?
In my mind a thought took space
While peering down a castle wall;
Odd...
No rail?
No signage in my face?
Left to my senses not to fall?
This thought then forged a finite shape,
One single word did sum it all;
One word back home you can't escape...
Sue!
Our wont to Sue
Sue one
Sue all.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart August 22, 2017 at 8:37 AM That be the perfect word! Nobody so far has drawn the comparison to the song "A boy Named Sue", left that name to make him strong... ;) Thanks for the visit! xomo

Hannah Borke July 19, 2017 at 1:08 PM Your poem is witty, but I disagree. I'm all for suing and safety precautions!

Charlie Smith June 15, 2017 at 10:19 PM The ultimate recourse I assume, no sense talking and reasoning things out. What a country... Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 16, 2017 at 1:37 PM A North American phenomenon for sure, where you can sue for being burned by your hot coffee. To quote the forever wise Charlie Brown "good grief"!

Chris Green June 15, 2017 at 11:53 AM I had this lady tell me once she was going to Sue me and I said, "But I thought your name was Diane?" Just kidding...seems like all the rage anymore, doesn't it? Nice one Maureen Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 16, 2017 at 1:42 PM Heh heh ;)
