there are no bad poems.
there are only readers
who are at that moment
distracted, grumpy, angry,
or in some other way
closed to the message.

i am again
very very very sorry
for writing
all these political poems
but i am a middle aged dad
who knows little about football.
do not think of me
as a grumpy political guy.
i am actually just a grumpy guy… not.

i am very worried
about the world
so i wrote
many poems about it

to give you a break
here is a happy poem
so you do not think
i am only a grumpy poet

why did the chicken cross the road?
to read a happy poem

don’t you
just hate
polite and
happy people
