Things I Get Sick Of
By: Richard Davidson on 11/24/2005; 3:04 AM

Every day
Another day goes by
Where no one buys me a cabbage
Makes me a king
Elects me president
Or nominates me pope
How tiresome this grows
Every Sunday
I don't play quarterback for the Packers
Dine with Hollywood's elite
Or volunteer for the Red Cross
I need a reason to live
Or eat an apple
I need my dog to come home
Someday I'll name him

Ever day
Another day goes by
Where no one posts
A critique of this poem
A poem I was serious about
And now I cry

*snicker* Ah, the writer's dilemma. We both want and don't want criticism.

No, I only want criticism. I don't don't want it.

This has the potential to turn into a Who's On First situation doesn't it?

This poem "feels" funny. It's not so much that it's hilarious for there is a spark of pain or regret or at the very least discomfort. Yet, the cadence of the piece seems to lend itself to comedy. Is that what you were shooting for?

You're close.

OK, actually, you're right on the money.

Except for the not hilarious part.

I notice, Chie. We miss you. And your muse.
