PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Well, shit happens when you least expect it

and I was like

“Gee my clothes are gone

and I’m in a communist country

but it could be worse

I suppose

if you really think about it.”

so now I can tell people

that I

actually was

in a Communist country

I’m just glad Senator McCarthy

is long since dead

and couldn’t make

the wrong something of it

I can romanticize it

now that it’s over

It was truly

a great life adventure

that I’ll no doubt

be talking about

when I’m old and gray

and a tad cantankerous

after the youth is passed

my “I was in a Communist counrry”

kind of shtick

or outright bullshit

is something I’ll be pulling off

and might have to whore up

my poetry thru all this

in order to get it all down

quite shamelessly

I might add
