By J.J. Tindall
WISH YOU WERE BEER
So: you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell?
Swell!
Do tell.
Your husband
Wants me to help him
Go out and
Get
Laid.
“What a wonderful world!”
Men cave, and then
Cheat.
Men cave men
Cave.
“Men are easy,” as my X
Used to say.
I wouldn’t pay,
Won’t pay.
Yay!
Two lost souls swimmin’ in
A fish bowl, year ahfta year.
Have you found
The same old fear?
Anymore, I don’t care to
Hear. “You caved.”
Rave on.
Without me.
Freedom isn’t free
But it sure is a
Bargain.
The best
I ever had.
Love is free.
