* -- denotes soonish
Oh how you trick us
Deceive us, and sell us short
How you amuse us
Befuddle and befool us
While we gawk and drool
Our vacant eyes flashing with reflected colors
Your illicit and misleading arguments
Suck up our will
(McDonald's; McStarbuck's; McDollars; McLies)
Your pure evil rests in your ability
to take any group of people
-- writers, scientists; friends, lovers --
And zombiefy them all
McFry their brains with your nonstop nonsense
Your incessant intrusions and incantations
Your being the Topic of so many worthless
workplace conversations
How rudely you interrupt just when someone
is about to make a good point
Your inescapable lure (pictures plus words!)
Poor paper
Rueful radio
Alas class and learning
Now pleasant background noise
Usurper of Evil -- I have my eye on you!
why, just last night on the 10 o'clock news
I saw a story about the Prince of Lies, grown
fat and vegetative, spending the rest of his days
watching you.
