Bluebonnet Margarine
Blonde girl with pigtails
In a blue checked gingham blouse
And a white pinafore
Showing us how GREAT
It tastes.
And it does spread easier
Than butter.
For Sure!
We are innocent
Easily led.
Still believing in people’s good.
We switch over easily.
Finally forgetting
What real butter used to taste like.
I had some the other day.
Wow!
Suddenly reawakened
And refreshed!
Despising the pigtail girl.
Uh-oh.
I just looked up the ad.
It was the Sunbeam Bread girl.
Scratch this one.
The carpet
I was bored of TV sat looking at the carpet
wondering if it was an Indian rug or banish the thought
even a Persian’s the carpet was old but had style
an inner dignity a type of rug you can’t buy in a Chinese
shops that came to town and upset the local shops.
I bought a pair of shoes at a Chinese’s the footwear
wasn’t any good made me look short and fat, which
I’m but with built up heels I feel slimmer.
Feeling good is important makes a patient person
and we can be patient towards self-hater as the say
in Israel. Funny thing words when watching a crime
series on the TV, the hero spoke of “evildoers” this
sounded so idiotic I switch over to a news channel.
Back to the carpet it was called rayola I think, (not
sure of the spelling,) and made in Portugal.
We were closeted
Me and my old friend
A skeleton.
He was scared of
Primitivism.
I told him to switch over
To other genre
Like children's metabolism.
He frowned and went back
To my cupboard.
Problem of choice
Very irksome for him
And my family too
Sharing the same house.
And top of it all
He snores.
My neighbors do not know
The secret.
Our damaging secret.
The bones are made of straw.

Can we please change the channel
I cant stand watching this crap
The news is boring switch over to MTV
Top story today a teenage suicide bomber kills 22 children on a Bus
Now back to MTV exclusives
Where Paris Hilton is attempting to count to 3
Thats hot, It is where your heading b/s best friend
And later
Lady Gaga,s new video where she is dressed in nothing but
milk cartons because she cares sick bad about the plight
of run away children
Is it me or has the whole world gone mad
I will tell you
I love you
When all the ardor languages
Will vanish
When all lovers will loose
Their tongues
Thier hearts
And their lips
Then I may say it
because the language of
love remains for ever
A Kiss
I will say it
When I feel
The rivers need you to walk
The seasons need you to switch over
The snow needs you fall down and melt
The earth needs you to crawl and rotate
I will tell you
I love you
When I see
All the world’s languages
Come for an urgent meeting
To discuss your lips fate
I may say it
Deliberately
And
Unconditionally
If I feel
You are my last
Exile
