Tabby tells
things she shouldn’t,
spilling beans
she said she wouldn’t,
through side of lips
she’ll kiss and tell–
Tabby is a
n’er do well..
her motor mouth
shoots rapid-fire,
dishing dirt
a constant crier,
a whistle that forever blows
Tabby keeps you in the know…
She unbags cat
~no Schrodinger~
and talks such smack
to totes strangers,
she chats you up at wait for bus,
but keep an eye
Tab’s dangerous…
she’ll toss you under
just because,
so if you want
to keep the peace,
don’t tell Tab
she writes the beats,
for gossip rags you might avoid,
because of course,
Tab’s a ‘bloid.

texting
(these days)
dominates,
while face
booking
dot.com.inates,
& tweeting
–tho’ a form I hate–
is proper
twitter·quette.
Linked in is
de·fence to
Gates,
& i’m’ing
increases
rate,
of need for specious
speech or prate,
that’s thick
on internet.
e-mailing
kiboshes
freight–
on letters posted–
lessens weight,
it gratifies!
(it gluts)
it sates.
it’s quickened
chitter-chat.
emojis, then,
express your
~state~
that acronyms
abbreviate,
those irksome words
that take up
space,
in click & post
verknack.

I kicked the smoking habit
burning nun
in favor of
breathing fire
take a dragon this
and my mouth tastes
très ashy
now, but it’s better than Gaulois…
ditched contacts for
horn-rimmed windows
to frame my face
panoramically—
–which wood
look silly–
(you’d think)
except I gave my
knows
the day off
just a temp job, anyway
planting couch potatoes
the way my garden grows
and strapped
Lazy Boys to my soles,
that way I can relax
~on the go~

shore-free relief for most every type of

is the true religion
I need you to share if you agree…
Agree that
1 share = 1 LIKE
for the fight against:
ignorance,
hypocrisy,
oppression,
ALL CAPS,

Big Brother,
and brother, you are some kind of commie if you don’t.
Only kidding

laugh out loud without smiling at all,

keeping in mind
“you should be writing!”
and that:
“books are for reading–not faces”
*said no one ever *
and that only in Norway
can you attend college free of charge
Yet only in America
is chocolate actually a salad
(meme for meme, a better trade-off)
Whereas only in the World
does its most exciting man abstain from drinking, occasionally
but when he does imbibe
–when he does–
shit howdy,
!
Let’s just say, he shouldn’t be on facebook
he never clicks on even one cancer survivor’s story
not one!
proving what an a**hole he well & truly is
…when he is, of course, being an a**hole….
