BEAT THE DRUM

Your cause is OK

My cause is

More important

I didn’t even

Know about it

Last week

Until I got it

I still have

Sympathy

For yours

At least you

Have one

Where was I

Before I had one

Floating

Lots of floaters

Out there

Let’s get their

Attention

Signatures that’s it

Get some of those

Why do so many people

Know so little

Wait a minute

That was me

Last week

Wrapped in

My blanket

Of things

Stuff

Maybe if I get

More stuff

I’ll be protected

From all this

This ugly side

Of things

I only have so

Much energy

You know

And so many

Brain cells

To store it all
