Poem: "Towards The Rear Wheels Of The Motorcade"

"Towards The Rear Wheels Of The Motorcade"

today is Tuesday and the farmer's market is full
of activity, bustling with the buyers and sellers
children screaming and men scratching their heads
the forecast calls for partly cloudy skies
with a 35% chance of scattered showers

the undertaker has run out of mahogany coffins
Starbucks Frappucino's have been reported to cause
infertility in women on the verge of Tourette's
$7.50 for used tampons at all participating
Mom and Pop bank robberies

metallic dildos have replaced rubber ones
as the weapon of choice
56% of men report an increase
in the consumption of salty snacks
once they reach the age of 45

the alarm clock is known to stimulate
road rage in slugs and rodents
three servings of caffeine an hour slows the brain's ability
to prevent pointless outbursts from overpaid game show vixens

somewhere in the world, three clicks
will signal the end of boys bands in spandex
taking over the airwaves

in light of this most recent infraction.
