Just ‘Babbling’ On
What the hey?
Have you heard the news?
Kids no longer wear button down shoes.
It’s o.k. to have long hair.
Be a guy or a girl. Be there or be square.
I didn’t know this but, it’s true.
Most people haven’t heard of “Little boy blue.”
Did you hear there is a new math?
Must be easier. A kid I know is daft.
To him 1 + 1 is three.
They pass him along anyway, don’t you see.
Someone said politics is dirty.
The mud slinging has gotten real nerdy.
Illegal aliens are everywhere.
Not talking space aliens, if you care.
Poetry is a way to express yourself.
it has to be this because I don’t have wealth.
What the heck am I trying to say?
I have no idea but, try anyway.
Kids today can’t live without their phone.
I tell them we didn’t have that. They just moan.
Facebook lets people look at you
and wonder who the hell you’re talking to?
I read a story once upon a time.
Yes, I can read. it’s not a crime.
It started out exactly like that.
A fairy tale, as a matter of fact.
Enough about that. How about sports?
Football, baseball, & games played on courts?
What? No interest there?
Well I’ll be——-No, I cannot swear.
After reading this piece of trash.
You are sure I am unabashed.
Not afraid to display my insanity.
It’s just the way it has to be——————–R. W. Johnson—–(2014)
