Being Sarcastic
By: Miracle Man

Winters breath is upon us
Today a freezing mist encompasses the area.
Traffic will snarl, body shops will be busy,
and insurance companies will raise their rates.
City police are on “operation slick streets”
which means they won’t come and investigate accidents.
You are required by law to do it yourself, download a form and mail it in.
And Oh yes, Krispy Kreme
is making a killing.
All adding to the economy’s GNP.
Life is good!
I walked by your shores of lonely
Passing by I could see your the only
One standing there next to the sand
As it caresses your feet and hand
You play with it as you speak out loud
Cries of sadness darkened clouds
Surround you as you sit and mope
Life has you were you can't even cope
If I could hold you and make it all better
Take the woes of life and mail it in a letter
I would send it where it needs to go
Where that is I don't know
Just tell me how I can make your shores be free
Take you away from this unpleasant sea
Take you too a place of love
You will feel like the clouds above
At peace no problems or concerns
Unearthly treasures no more burns
Of life and its worry place
I give you my word I can erase
Away your shores of lonely
In my heart there is space.
