Gershon Wolf Poet Narrative

Identical Twin Sisters

Two identical twin sisters, Mary and Sue
  Wiggled their way to maturity
     As twin sisters often do

Passed notes in K-5, then their
  Grades took a dive, in high school
    Which they slept through
      More dead than alive

So to community college they went
  Part of a big tent of immigrants
    Flunk-outs and folks who rent

There they shaped up, earning all A's
  Entered the 'Big U' at the end of the day
    Where all their friends were bi, trans or gay

But they managed their courses to pass
  And swish-boom-bang-fast
    They got married and each had two kids  

When as so often happens to sister twins
  They wondered with silly grins
     "What kind of pickle have we put ourselves in?"

We really aren't happy, and our hubbies are sappy
   Our kids wear us out, all their pissing, so crappy
      We don't even know if we're straight or we're gay

"We'd better start over," 
   That's what they said
      So that's what they did
        Passing notes to each other
          As sister twins identical often do
                ~ Oh, brother!

Kurt Ravidas May 9, 2019 at 2:12 PM This world loves the extreme states of political systems. It has already tried fascism and communism in practice. Now it has a trend to an extreme liberalism. I'm affraid, the world won't like it either. It's possible that soon we will live under the ancap's legalized slavery. Why not in Chicago? Gershon Wolf May 9, 2019 at 2:32 PM Why not? -- Because my friends and I won't stand for it. We'll mow those m-f's down. How's that sound? (Don't think I'm kidding now. LOL.). Easy does it, Kurt. The world is still turning. It survived Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, and Mao. Surely it will survive Putin, Kim, The Mullahs, Trump and Bernie Sanders et al. NOT TO WORRY. The end is NOT near. ~ gw

Kurt Ravidas May 9, 2019 at 1:51 PM You're god damn write, muh bruder sis! We must continually reinvent ourselves to meet the needs of the times and reflect and even guide the priorities of this shitty world in full evolution. P.S.: If I'm not mistaken I quoted a someone's UN speech closely the wording)) Gershon Wolf May 9, 2019 at 1:58 PM Only hope that you enjoyed viewing 'the sisters' half as much as I enjoyed chuckling away at your comment. You are quite the commentator, my friend. ~ Still smiling in Chicago
