The Poetry Police came

regarding my revoked license;

they interrogated me

for a full six days

then left, because it was Sunday.

*****

file me

under "miscellaneous"

rather than

"extraneous"

or "supercilious"

if vital for

a better bureaucracy

that I be

filed at all.

*****

Satire is

the ninjutsu

of words

and

its perfect,

absolute enemy

is the marriage of

stupidity and

narcissism.

*****

What a rapturous brew

no higgledy-piggledy stew,

but by the time it

reaches the dinner table, it

will have lost the power

to fill.
