New Home Searching
The essence of me
is thoroughly convinced the deterioration
of current residence is beyond repair.
No evil is heard
nor is evil seen
and that is not all that does not work.
The flesh colored paint job
Is blemished and flaky
too damaged to repair.
The plumbing is broken
either floods or clogs
dependent on Mira lax and Lasix.
Legs have know each other so long
they decided to move in together
resulting in two edema struck left feet.
The old man smell has been identified
but even frequent laundry
does not erase the Macbeth illusion.
Internal bickering all the time
Libido blames Virility for early retirement
and super ego trying to quiet the shouting.
Before this old house of mine
Is condemned, I think it time
to complete the downsizing and move!
Ego demands the new residence
provide possibility for fame
and high profile.
Libido has a very loud request
which surprises no one
but gets a hush hush from the morals watcher.
We have searched and agree
that we found the perfect host
for new housing.
So if you wake to the mellow sax
of Johnny Hodges and a hankering for a red zin
say a loud hello to the new addition to you.
You are the lucky, lucky selected one!
