Spake

so bored
my heart is burning
inflamed by this
indignity

while my fingers roam
on rubber nubbed
connection

and the screen stutters
from one same thing
to another

"Honey!!!!!! whats on the
television"

I cant hear her over her
washing of the dishes

the cat cries

"Honey!!!!!! the cats hungry
he wants some kitty kibbles!"

more torment

No Horsepower Hot Rod shows
no fishing or hunting or dressing
game for mans enjoyment

shouldnt have even gotten up
and put this dirty undershirt on

the vacume howls
the kitty cries
is there no rest for man
in his kingdom to reside??

and now the coupe de grace
the batteries have died

There really is a hell!!

young enough to remember

from our municipality that women were home persons and men were workers then they invented television remotes and that all changed We children were put out of a job of channel changers electronic changelings seventies freed the women (now before this gets too far this is just a Fun poem my mom worked hard my dad washed dishs and cooked dinners and here I do all the cooking and cleaning and errand running.. I confess Im a shoppaholic on a nickle budget but I do read Lou Lou magazine and Handgun monthly and slip in to the bookstore for some Anne Rice chapter or two....this is a take on my little imagination of what if.. but I know better...who runs my world..)
