Analysis of Spilled a mess
Broken jar of mayonnaise
Glass broken white muck
Top shelf of frigerator
Too crammed.
Couple of rich words.
Cupboard for broom and mop.
Don’t leave any glass bits…
Two days ago
Lost my cool with neighbour
Over the back fence.
Card carrying Liberal supporter.
Loves Trudeau, the P. M.
Justin is just plain
New Age jerk, socialist, untrained.
Anybody smiling at him
Has rocks for brains.*
You too Neighbour.
(Looks got darkened.
More arguments with passion.
The F Word interspersed.
Turning, storming away.)
That Mess at the back fence.
Clean it up.
Wayne me boy.
* just a personal opinion. Not having all the facts.
Not worthy of libel action. Smiling now.
