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.

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

Charlie Smith Date: 6/15/2017 10:19:00 PM The ultimate recourse I assume, no sense talking and reasoning things out. What a country...

To quote the forever wise Charlie Brown "good grief"!

Chris Green Date: 6/15/2017 11:53:00 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 Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 6/16/2017 1:42:00 PM Heh heh ;)
