Boomer Bovine Blues

Ziploc gladness is a plastic bag

full with blueberries cool and sweet

to eat while watching cable news

Blue like B.B. King riffing in a club

waiting for closing time and someone

or anyone to take you home

Milk the cows of gladness

joy in a bucket – butter and cream

tug the teats – curdle the cheese

World War III falls from the sky

we’ve seen fire and we’ve seen rain

sunny days we thought would never end

Putin’s lap dog – our chosen one

tweets of burning flesh – hallelujah

end time’s coming – gird your loins

Rejoice, contented Boomer bovines

your gentleness is evident to all

meat on the hoof led to the slaughter
