A Poem For Everyone and No one

by Karen Remus (c) 2020


Put it on the backlog heap

And I'll get to it later

Let me get some extra sleep

And call me Couch Potater

Put it off till Sunday comes

For that's the day of rest

Based upon my ciphered sums

It all works for the best


Half of me was a tadpole once

The other half a planet

The tadpole came from a drunken dunce

And I popped out of Janet

Half of life is a miracle

The other half a mess

This message is empirical

Just ask my sister Bess


Spanish is my second language

English is my first

My Spanish is peor at best

And muy mal at worst

Line up for a broken heart

And spend your shiny token

Words can rip your world apart

When not a word is spoken
