Jive crap <br />That’s all this life is <br />Just some jive Asses attempt <br />at some more jive ass poetry <br />It means nothing unless you're stoned <br />and you are one of those people <br />who wake up everyday <br />to find yourself <br />sleeping with cockroaches and in filth <br />Lying in a bed of empty words <br />that cometogether <br />like a high speed Interstate highway car wreck <br />involving two SUVs and a 1972 Pinto <br />fully loaded with twelve boat people <br />trying to enter the country undetected <br />by the Poet authorities___ <br />but then.....no matter.... <br />you're dead already with your Jive crap <br />That's all this life is.... <br />more Jive crap and some more heaped on top of that..... <br /> <br />2007 © Ted Sheridan<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/jive-poetry-and-the-poet-authorities/
