Made w. 100% Impact Concentrate
By Steven Minchin
every time you open your mouth
By Steven Minchin
every time you open your mouth
your tongue is pressed in bumper stickers
and sometimes when conversation
stills the air
I think you’re going
to look at me and say
“A day without fairies
is like a day without Sunshine”
“God is my Copilot” or some other
hallow echo of resounding sentiment
overcooked to impact concentrate
then served diluted at full strength
I like this poem!
Steven, remember, hard work is its own reward, so if it’s God’s will, you’ll go far.
Excellent.
