ODE GO TO MO-SHMO

"You're no good, you're no good, you're no good, baby you're no good!"
Lyrics from a Linda Ronstat song

Why do I hear the plop, plop
fizz song Of the old Alka Seltzer’s ad? Oh my bad, you remind me of gas! Like It was some excess Beans I had!!!

I’d like to say I can’t tell who was the biggest sucker in this shady sojourn! But I have to say it had to have been me. I know when a slimy satanic snake comes my way... But you had shiny colors like a rainbow day.

It was such a relief When you finally figured out, that I figured you out, that beyond a shadow of a doubt, You knew you had “EXHAUSTED” up all your clout! Lousy lie-a-bout, lout.....

And you are the type of person that even though we haven’t been corresponding personally in years, Because of mutual Ties that don’t bind, I can always Peer into the atmosphere, and still know how u move; From town, to borough, to pier!

And please, If people in my past happen to read this, I’m not saying it out of any arrogance So you do me the same favor. It’s not necessarily about  you. But it seems to be, That between you and me, I seem to be stuck in a bizarre twilight zone episode Where the people Have the same m.o. And there is no particular Set.  Different Colors, genders religion,  etcetera, etcetera.

And the reason why I use that bizarre title To categorize all the people By those phrases, Is because  to me in my mind, That  when I say that phrase, It reminds me of all the ones I have come into gross encounters with.

Whether it was an act of God, or all the pod people went back to their pods. Or they had to go plant a garden, or mow the lawn, I’m just glad that all you guys are gone. Here’s to looking forward to strangers With kindness....... Peaceful, Peaceful, Paradise!
