Poetry of Issue 9: Political blues

Political blues

Is all in the news;

Maybe I’ll snooze

When it’s over.

Pass me the booze

Nothing to lose

Don’t want to live my life sober.

I never have said

I like people dead

Not overly civil or nice

Yet I  often am prone

To live all alone;

After I’ve  knocked off the mice.  

 Political blues.

Is all in the news;

Maybe I’ll snooze

When it’s over.

Pass me the booze

Nothing to lose

Don’t want to live my life sober.
