It's Amazing, what Hell

of a good poem
you can push out
with a little hemp,
a little hope,
a little wine,
a little optimism,
a little chakra music,
a lot of voodoo,
and a lot of incense
to piss off your sensitive-smelling
husband, can do.

Throw some Tarot cards
into the mix,
and you've got
a damn good poem.

I am Queen
of my own
pentacles,
after all.

This is a damn good poem,
or something funny,
to read tomorrow,
in the break room.
(However, tomorrow
is Sunday, I'll cringe about it
on Monday.)

It might be better
than the stories
I told "at band camp."

Very funny, love it, CC. “ I am Queen of my own pentacles”> such a good line. I would probably add > yay ! I’m evolving out of High Priestess into Empress ( I hope). X.

Ha Ha Ha : I sometimes do it professionally for Talents on Talent Exchanges. I’m spot on, Lol. I know these Pentacles, they have a way of flying with the Chariots. Xx
