Nonsense
Author Note
This poem is the result of personal frustration pertaining to the amount of nonsense we deal
with every day. It makes no sense and neither does this. Anybody out there?
politicians don't lie,
promises a pigs eye,
to do or try,
we know why,
mothers cry,
life a lie,
we never die
the rich get poorer,
the poor get richer,
they call you mister,
meet an alien visitor,
better odds with a twister
sale means craving
taxing promotes saving,
bathing then shaving,
road workers paving,
preachers raving,
neighbors waving
the economy is sound,
taxes equal all around
the President crowned,
craters upside down mounds,
job security, solid ground
education improving,
students deluding
teachers intruding,
nothing profound,
archaic sound
foolishness abound,
unstable ground,
wherever nonsense is found
