Notes About The Poem

Pie-in-the-sky, by Suzette Richards – image generated 10 September 2024


pie-in-the-sky (an idiom): something that you hope will happen but is very unlikely to happen.


I used internal rhymes in my satirical verse. 


 

Pie-in-the-sky

When the veracity is really sparse,
the world affairs are left on the backburner. 
Pitting a status dog against an orange poodle
(the latter dropped his noodle a long time ago)
there is no honour in winning the debate
in this farce we rate a mere pie-in-the-sky.
