Each Week

No one likes being out of the loop
So latest scoop is to start a poetry group
Writing about subjects in the news
And why there is no perfect excuse.

What I write about I find in my mind
And if any of it was left behind,
It probably to you was of no concern;
Would end up having much heartburn.

I believe in writing about current affairs;
Look around and will see layers and layers
And to me what really seems to appall
Are the ignoramuses who don't care at all.

If Brunswick County wants to become literary
Should start off with opening a poetry library
For those who are exquisite and inquisitive
Who with their lives in libraries love to live.

Meeting and things started out as a big mess
Then ended up being a complete, total success;
Everyone loved it from time they were seated
And now each week they want it to be repeated.
