Because I’m worth it

A Poor Substitute – A Poem

on 2 March 2010

All the cool kids

Like to talk all surreal

I’d love to join in

But it’s something I don’t feel

So I’ve thought of a way

That I can join ‘em

I just think of some words

And say them all random

Radiator doorknob

Jewellery pontoon bunny

It’s certainly not clever

And it definitely isn’t funny

    Your reminded me of when I was working with a fellow at a VA hospital whose only claim to fame was an excessive use of words he did not know…so using a government buzz word list…we wrote him a letter….the only thing that made sense in the letter was words like “is, are, the” the rest of the letter was pure junk…he found the information in the letter quite profound…need I say more…now some would say our letter was cruel….but I would say deserved…enjoyed your poem.

      Glad that you enjoyed the poem.

      Perhaps the random letter that you sent him actually made sense in his addled mind and brought him inner peace.

      In some ways, I guess we’ll never know.

    cool kids, school kids, chattering , surreal kids
    random,radiator, bizzarely unreal vids
    chop and change, repartee
    mash it up , like humpty dumpty
    pontoon , bunny hop
    lets all go down the shop
    munchies,crunchies,doorknobs and things in red
    it all sounds so street chic ’cause we’re off our heads
