Sucks
To be these days on the front line sucks
but also, to be last in line sucks
to get hit from behind when you are at a stop sign sucks
A sour grape (not just one on a vine) sucks
Pandemic’s closing of your favorite place to dine sucks
To be a cat on life number nine sucks
To be so sick you always must recline sucks
To learn one’s cult is not divine sucks
During Xmas time especially, to be allergic to pine sucks
To see those protesting destroying your beloved shrine sucks
To want hard liquor when there’s only sweet red wine sucks
To want red wine when all you find is moonshine sucks
To learn your faux fur coat is made from an exotic feline sucks
Asked to explain a word you used (but can’t even define) sucks
To never be able on issues with your partner to align sucks
To have to be with people who act like swine sucks
To be a someone who lacks a spine sucks
For you to have to listen to me whine sucks
To have to stay inside your house confined sucks
For me to end this poem with two near-rhymes really really sucks
