200,000 Reads

200,000

200 K

200 thou

Reads as of today

 

I wrote of Orion

And silly sleigh rides

Wrote about hometowns

And passionate nights

 

****** damnable wars

And narcissistic politicians

Wrote sorrowful elegies

Extolled the human condition

 

Offered odes to loved ones

And critiqued the powerful

Celebrated the splendor of nature

And children most wonderful

 

Honked loud about jazz

And hot improvisation

Poked fun at the MoMA

Held deep blue introspection

 

We got many more reads

Than actual likes

I’m growing concerned

That I have more dislikes

 

But here is one more

Silly trite poem

I hope you like it

You can read it at home

 

Thanks for all your support….

 

Simon and Garfunkel

Poem on the Underground Wall

 

Love Mac…..
