The One That Got Away

If chocolate hit the stores today
It would be made illegal
So over overweeningly
Are we of regulation full

If our lawmakers are not up
In arms, throwing a fit,
It’s only because they are aware
They’d never get away with it

With all our air and water
Our poisonous fake food
They have to let us have one thing
That makes us feel good

Homeless until removal of the stalker/targeter/vandal/arsonist following her allows her to approach any landlord ~ even for a private parking space ~ this poet presently lives under perpetual threat of towing with all possessions should her 23-year-old van stop running for any reason.

She is badly in need of a modest reserve with which to field any emergency which might occur.

Donors may visit http://www.UgiftABLE.com , using code #72D-31S. It does take several days for the poet to be notified of your patronage.

Thank you for supporting quality in the fine arts.
