Success Is a Questionnaire

videos don't lie
so just confide

i'm not lazy 
just disable

give me a break
for heaven sake

i may not vote
i'm human folk

in a counttry where hopes
is what we grope

dreams is what we share
and success is a questionnaire


Million Dollar Questionnaire

You question me time and time
I've told you every time
But I guess I didn't give you the answer you wanted
So yet you still ask hoping to get your requested reply
I've told you every time I've taken this survey
I did not lie!

Later In the Month

The envelope finally arrived
Sticking out from the mailbox
Slightly opened
I feared the worst. 

Hurried to hurry
Initial pay,
Publisher promised
5 things inside

Welcome note
Tentative publication schedules
Important questionnaire
Agreement insert
Money order for my 3 poems.

 Inside envelope
 Everything  
 But money order 
 A poet’s life.

Certified

I think that someone should invent 
(And I would be quite glad)
A painless little questionnaire
To check that your not mad
.
A simple twenty questions
Is all that it would take
To say you’re fairly normal
Or a crazy old fruitcake
.
If all the people filled one in
The results could be collated
We could have a central register
And get certificated

Questionnaire

Got a jury questionnaire – 
They really have some nerve!
I’ve paid my dues; I’m not so young
And I don’t wanna serve!

There must be people willing
Or who haven’t once been called.
Perhaps it’s time the system
Was completely overhauled.

Let all of us who’ve served before
Be evermore exempt,
Or else they’ll have to deal with
Someone totally verklempt!*

*flustered, nervous, overwhelmed (Yiddish)

Ambidextrous On Migrants

Liberal or conservative 
the questionnaire asks
about migrants.

Fred’s in the middle.
Asked about The Wall 
he writes that he sees 

nothing wrong 
with hungry illegals 
crossing the border 

looking for work and 
nothing wrong with
the Trumpeter Swan 

sending them home
as long as no one is 
killed in the process.

But okay to give them
Wyoming and Cheney.
Plenty of room.

Pain Is Just the Messenger Who Is Awaiting Your Reply

Pain is just a messenger,
That cannot leave until you give an answer,
That shows you understand the question,
And filled out the questionnaire to the senders satisfaction,
And attached a plan for future action.

Smart people don't shoot messengers,
They stop when lights are red,
They install smoke alarms in places they rest their head
And don't put unread notices in the bin,
And always hear out any messenger who comes in.

Just to see the doc, you have to fill out a questionnaire. 
It's an N.I.H. mandate that really isn't fair.
You're required to cry your heart out, and list every secret, 
And hope the ones reading it will also quietly keep it.

How the N.I.H. uses data, no one knows for sure,
But ask them what they do and they'll quickly show you the door.
To get the Medicare benefits,  you have to follow rules.
It seems that the N.I.H. is making us look like fools.
