This is my polemic
To the idiot pandemic
That is utterly endemic
To my current situation.
I find myself surrounded by
The world’s most singular dufi
Who have ever passed on by
Our planetary creation.
And it’s not just covid bitches,
Forest killers or the social ditches
That we fall into so gently as a leaf onto a lake
It is the utter chaos we’ve created
Never questioned or berated
That says everyone deserves a new gadget and a break.
The creepers and the speeders
The LOL text-only-readers
Who smack into those with any kind of sense
Deserve a big ol’ punch
A slap a smack a crunch
And be boiled into spicy condiments.
All the Amazon apologists
And WalMart greeter-ologists
Who smell roses when Elon Musk is in the air.
No, I will never be
A shill for a monopoly
Yes, I really’d rather submit
To the wafts of smelly shit
That plop from rabid raccoon derrieres.
And I don’t think that it’s stretching
(To pause briefly from my social retching)
To say that everyone wants everything right now!
Don’t worry how to pay,
That’s for another day!
I want I want I want I want, wow wow wow!
But the bill has now been called
And we’re well and truly balled
‘Cause we’re crashing and have run out all our time
We’re run down all the clocks
Thrown our values into hock
And drained the Earth’s accounts down to a dime.
And I know this ought to shake me
But it only serves to make me
More determined to be who I’ve always been.
Which is what? I often ask.
It has been my lifelong task
To understand why people piss me off so much.
And I know that I’ve got blinkers
But some folks are just plain stinkers
And I don’t use my upbringing as a crutch.
I’ve screamed that we are bullocked
‘Cause the world is full of pillocks
But so many had no clue what that word meant
So for those who find me snotty
You can kiss my Sharon Boddy
Fuck off mate, shove off, and oh yes, please do get bent.
