Spoon In Pudding

This is a poem that I wrote at the Albright Knox when I was visiting there in 2008. It was inspired by a few real life problems, rather things that I felt were problems. Nut anyway, hope you get a giggle out of it. It's a lot different than some of my more recent writing, but I think you might get an idea about the way I was feeling then and the things that were bothering me.

"Spoon in Pudding"

Bite Your tongue

turn off the tv

and listen to me

you need to do laundry

the rugs need cleaned

and you're sitting there playing Halo 3

I know it's your hobby

but darling you know

i hate the way your sloppy

in my domain, my home

you try to claim sanctuary

and hide in your room

but i swear am gonna make you

eat the friggin broom

i know your friend's on your side

of course they're on yours

they say you're being taken for a ride

but your mother's on my side

she says you need to clean up

you need to take a break

before i put that Xbox

through our front window

and your neck in a brace

what's that you're done playing?

your mom's at the door?

good riddance to that damn thing

it's going to the kids next door.
