I don't think I'm alone


Poem Artwork

Selective Reading Disorder

A condition I seem to have acquired

It’s not listed in medical journals

Doctor’s reading is not required

 

The symptoms here I cannot deny

Trying to digest Congressional articles

The words make me steam and ultimately scream

As from my bastion I blast Senatorial farticles

 

I tried taking a TUM to soothe my poor bum

Some Di-gel to relieve my overstressed moon

Like a natural gas field their smug looks make me yield

Enough volume to fill a hot air balloon

 

I avoid reading their crap for that reason

I note also they will soon be resurgent

In the mean time I’m saving a fortune

In underwear bleach and detergent

 

Considering the butt crack or political hack

The line between the two has been thinned

Right cheek or left, liberal or not

It’s the center that gets most of the wind

 

So for now I will stick to the funnies

And limit my Sunday syllables to three

My Selective Reading Disorder

Will not get the better of me

It's better than dyslexia! At least you're not shitting backwards, dude! Politically correct Angel Soft or White Cloud, be a two-ply label reader. How much crap can we really take? Selective reading keeps us regular...

Love,
