Dubious Thoughts fall away like the red shift And coffee vapors mist and drift. Seducing in upon a head That lays a pillow acting dead. Hell is in the getting up Heaven's in the coffee cup And metronomes tick away To tick and stroke the cope of day. I'll wear my Rumpelstilkin mask And face the ugly work day task. I'll add my ounce of hired fuel To make the masses buy and drool. The day will wear and I will swear For never will they clear the air Subliminal will eat away Insidious will win the day. And Charlie Chaplin will asleep Another day will be complete. |

Chaplin "said" a lot with a little And so do you. I happen to agree with Wilfred 100% and I'd like to see DR. Moose's Marceau in action. Incidentally, great poem Liz |
