Like a frowsy, dowdy
old housewife
I sit largely
unnoticed
stout and squat
a sort of kitchen sentry
rarely appreciated
until some minor crisis-
Cough, sniffle, stomachache
a particularly bad day
or fancy party...
then things heat up
quickly for me!
This was one of those
fancy party days
no cause to celebrate
for me!
Grueling stove-top swelter
I take it all in stride
despite the pressure
never boiling over
(I still have my pride...)
But when it gets me
really steamed
I drop polite hints
the best I can
in ladylike whispers
until I simply
can take no more-
and my shrill, piercing screams
draw attention, but fast!
It never lasts...
So she perches there
on pointy tippy-toes
in all her perky, snooty primness
silently snarky and subtle
sneakily taking credit
for all my hard work!
And as the luncheon ladies
Oooh and Aaah
“What wonderful tea!”
she points her delicate
snobby little spout
even higher with pride
But, one of these days
she'll regret it-
that snooty sassy-pot...
for I'm a tough
old stainless broad
and I'll chip her china, yet!
...And while I'll be careful
to make it seem
ever-so-casual
(like an accident)
she'll know deep down
it's really her long overdue
and well deserved
comeuppance!
Failing
(upbeat, Calypso style)
1, - Self
I'm Failing, I'm Failing!
Can't make anything go right
I'm Failing, I'm Failing!
Morning, Noon and Night!
If I don't get out of this Funk
And turn myself around,
My life will turn right into junk,
I'm surely going down!
2, -Barista
I'm Failing, I'm Failing!
Can't make no coffee or tea
I'm Failing, I'm Failing!
It's definitely me!
If I can't find some way to make
A decent cup of Joe
I'll give them all a stomachache
Then out the door I'll go!
3, - Teacher
They're Failing, They're Failing!
My students cannot think
They're Failing, They're Failing!
Test scores are in the sink
If I can't find some way
To make them focus in and learn
They'll take my certificate away
And in effigy I'll burn.
4. - All 3 Above
We're Failing, We're Failing!
Ain't no doubt about it
We're Failing, We're Failing!
Just go ahead and shout it!
If we don't get our s-t together
We're goin' down for sure
It don't matter, Now or Never -
We gotta take the Cure.
5 - Politician
I'm Failing, I'm Failing!
Just look at all those polls!
I'm Failing, I'm Failing!
Up to my neck in Trolls!
If I don't find a way
To climb right back on top,
I'll just become old news.
I'll wander off the Campaign Trail
And lose all of my views.
6 - All Above
We're Failing! We're Failing!
Ain't no doubt about it
We're Failing! We're Failing!
Just go ahead and shout it!
If we don't get our s- t together
We're goin' down for sure
It don't matter - Now or Never -
We'd better take the cure.
We're goin' down for sure
Take another bite
Just one more
What could it hurt?
Craving the taste of comfort
Only to sit in guilt for hours
Wondering if I’m feeding myself
Or the voice that hates me
Skipping meals because you had one bite too many
Or a snack, then another and another
Drink your water
It doesn’t have calories
But wishing you could enjoy the fizz of a soda like everyone else seems to do
Not eating at all
But you’re still full of guilt
Lose weight and it isn’t enough
Gain weight and you’re not doing enough
Learning to avoid offers with excuses
A stomachache, low appetite or simply not being hungry
But something is always hungry
Whether it’s your stomach or your mind
And even when your hunger lies somewhere else
Your stomach will always be the problem
And though you watch your body change
Day after day
The voice remains the same
And it never wanted food
So don’t take another bite
Not one more
What could it hurt?
Death of Hope
Hope was a beautiful girl, long ago,
before she turned seventy when the pandemic hit
and turned her into an ideal candidate for Covid's
voracious appetite, living a solitary life in her
assisted-living apartment, until one day,
when the sun was playing hide and seek with the clouds
and a mild wind blowing the ruffles of a bird on the tree,
suddenly Hope was struck by the disease like a bolt of lightning,
and she coughed and had chills and high temperature and, soon,
muscle spasms and stomachache and nightmares, that seemed like
a tragedy foretold, until her immune system was overpowered by the
mighty army of virus, building fortresses in her lung and shooting volleys of pain
that reduced her will to fight, eventually like a vanquished foe in the hands of a
superior enemy that knew no mercy.
Its been a long time
That we human have slept for a while
Freely enjoying the cold breeze
Without some wine for sometime
Stress keeps you awake
Wine makes you feel alive
These are some of the things
That dont let you sleep all night
Heartaches or you can say heartbreaks
Cigarettes be our saviour for somewhile
These are some of the things
That dont let you sleep all night
Herecomes a parent
Whose child stay away from their eyesight
This is their love
That dont let them sleep all night
Some girls go through severe stomachache
And it bleeds whole night
This is a reason
That dont let them sleep all night
Boys be boys
Crazy behind their cute girls
This is a reason
That dont let them sleep to all night
Then comes a cute small baby
Who sleeps for somewhile
Till he or she gets elder
Enjoy their sleep meanwhile
