Rap it Up…

Karen Robiscoe dba CHARRON's CHATTER

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.

Linked in is

of need for specious

speech or prate,

that’s thick

e-mailing

on letters posted–

lessens weight,

it gratifies!

(it gluts)

it sates.

it’s quickened

chitter-chat.

 

emojis, then,

abbreviate,

those irksome words

that take up

just a temp job, anyway

so totes!
YOLO, MOFO

& since spirituality

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

(JK!)

laugh out loud without smiling at all,

my friend

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….

And right for once…

her all along

she runs shell games

forgetting Kansas…

revealing there never was

a place like home…
