Sidney Beck Poet Verse

Places You Will Never Find Me

PLACES   YOU’LL   NEVER   FIND   ME



At any rap concert for fun,
At home watching a Merv Griffin  re-run,
Singing bawdy drunken choruses of “There once was a nun”,

Under an expensive suntan machine,
In a sushi bar, eating fish, marine,
At the Diamond Jubilee garden party for the Queen,

At a catwalk with scowling skeletons as fashion artists,
Behind a booth-curtain voting for some racists,    
In an East Lansing fundraiser  for  NRA activists,

On a golf course   - because I’m below par,
Visiting  Australia  -  because it’s too far,
Driving   coast to coast  -  no car,    

In  British Columbia (ever again)  -   too wet,
In Mexico, Brazil, Angola  -  too hot,
Jogging in the NYC marathon   -  not fit,  too fat.
