Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Lyric

So long American - sung to So Long Marianne

So so long CDC
It’s time 
for you and me
to die from 
bygone disease
(like measles
and TB)
while we laugh 
and cry
we”re the best!
we’ll die
knowing 
we’ll be great again



***


This is what my brain does when 
I wake in the middle of the night 
and can’t get back to sleep.

I Am Anaya February 6, 2025 at 7:42 PM They control disease outbreaks, gone as predicted, people don't realize what they voted for. Canada on the list...colonization a 51St State! Get some rest, Maureen, as best as you can. Sending comfort:)

Kim Rodrigues February 6, 2025 at 7:14 AM Poignant and funny all at once. I was up at 4 a.m. reading my bible then went back to bed. We have to do something in those hours when sleep eludes us. I often write. Hugs and blessings! Enjoy your whimsy! Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart February 6, 2025 at 5:13 PM Between whimsy and weeping. I am so terrified for us all, for every living creature on our wee planet. I envy your faith and do so appreciate your kindness and openness. Thank you Kim. Hugs and blessings to you too. xomo
