Isn’t it silly, Willy Nilly?

Enough!
by Michael R. Burch

It’s not that I don’t want to die;
I shall be glad to go.
Enough of diabetes pie,

Enough of win and place and show.
Enough of endless woe!

Enough of suffering and vice!
I’ve...

When guys get so old
pubic hairs
are as long as penises

It's not time to grow
a longer and fatter, more drivable,

promising retributive rape
of an entire planet.

over-Yanged investment hedges
blocking more pedestrian-friendly

The sign on the door said,

From June to September
I cannot remember
A damn thing that I did
What took me over
Was a monster called Bipolar

she cooked lemon a'la duck
won the lottery, grumbled what bad luck

"I ain't gonna be nothing, 
Cos it seem like f'ever I've been longing."
Tears in the eyes, phlegm in the nose,
Skin so sore, malady of the toes. 
Helter-skelter, yet, nothing to show for, 
Studied chemistry and...

Just to get out of the rain
Love to hear that sound

It  just leads to more people down the track
Panic attack

Yes, I am fat.
Only a few get the cue
