David Smith Poet Burlesque

Better requires

Better requires less of the bitter,
And more of the Guinness.

Better requires less of life on a platter,
And more serious efforts to clean up a mess.

Better requires more reason for a natter,
And less reason for chatter that is meaningless.

Better requires more use of brain matter,
And less use of fixes that are useless.

Better requires more names that are dapper,
And less numbers that give only errors to address.

Better requires wallets that are fatter,
And less taxes for the mad hatter to bless.

Better requires more home runs from the next batter,
And less coaching by those who are clueless.

Better requires less glass to shatter,
And more children to progress.

Better requires empathy in quantity, more than a smatter,
And failure to appreciate the opposite sex, a  sign of weakness.

Better requires more waste turned into matter,
And nature, to fear less.

Better requires perfect people to scatter,
And those who strive for better to be free of stress.

Better requires kindness not to clatter,
And envy to be no one's mistress.
