Penny Wise Pound Foolish

There once was a lady so loca
Who made me so mad I wanna choke her
If I had my way
I'd punch her today
Does it make sense
To argue over fifteen cents?

i've been told that my words can heal. mend fences. bring people to tears from the beauty contained in each sentence.

or bring them to tears because i say terrible things about people. on the internet. all the time.

ah, well. whatevs.

Lovely poem. All of the optimism of Sylvia Plath combined with the good cheer of T.S. Eliot with a bit of Ogden nash thrown in.
