Judge Mental

Driving thru lots of

Parked cars, many un-

Aligned...

Ask you?

Askew...

Wow. There oughta be

A law or two to keep

Those cars in lines.

(Let's get Google to

Drive our cars for us!

They'd behave better,

Until they became self-

Aware, that is)

Googo-

Pocalpyse

 

Navigating parking lots is

Gambling against heavily

Uneven odds, the House(s)

Eventually winning by de

Fault of small electronics

 

Merry Christmas! Used

To hear that from just about

Every mouth and furry pair

Of lips. Now, the ubiquitous

"Happy Holidays" or as Seinfeld

So brilliantly mocked,

"Festivus for the Restofus"

The mocking is now

Knocking on our

Cultural Door to

Heck

 

Driving past a Fitness

Planet: the misspeled

Word "Judgement"

And the irony poking

Me in the eye is that little

"E"

That SHOULD belong nestled

Snugly in the deep middle of

That word, but, strangly, isntt...

And I'm doing what that sign

Admiringly attempts to cajole:

I'm judging. I'm judgEing.

 

I do this, constantly, all

My waking minutes:

Not passing on judging, but

Holding 4 aces and 1 joker...

(Me)

Hands clenched in rage as

(Again)

I steer obliquely thru parking

Lots, doing the very same

Crime I accuse everyone else

Being guilty of...

 

I scream...

THERE IS NO 'e' IN

JUDGEMENT!
