A Fucking Care

Tristan Robert Lange

the plan—
here I lay—
that was had
 
to rest,
 
simple
as
it
is
 
and should be
 
to
gr
      as
p
 
is always
invaded by pleas for
 
care
 
coming from
leeches
with
out
a
 
fucking care
 
for anyone
else
in the world.
 
but the LORD
has declared,
 
to rest is
to care
 
and to care
is to guard
one’s rest.

          Demar, you know me too well. πŸ˜‚ If I’m cursing in the title, the patience department has already closed for the day. πŸ›οΈπŸ›‘οΈπŸ–€πŸ™

              This one has a cadence and rhythm a beat that emphasizes the words and meaning. Nicely done my friend

                  My pleasure Tristan

                • orchidee

                  Now this sounds a bit like my X-rated poem, which starts off, though Popeye's ears burn at hearing it (lol):
                  Ohhhh, grrrr, F, F, F, and F
                  And furthermore F, F, F, and F!!! πŸ™‚

                  • Tristan Robert Lange

                    Orchi, I’m dying. 🀣 Poor Popeye is somewhere clutching his spinach and pretending he heard absolutely nothing. πŸ›οΈπŸ›‘οΈπŸ–€πŸ™

                  • Paul Bell

                    I was drawn to a fucking just as a blond girl waked by.
                    Now i realise the leeches are drawing the last bit of blood from your body.
                    The lord did mention Sunday as a day of rest, but then work brought out double money for a Sunday, and we all became athiests.
                    The devil says rest when you die.

                    • Tristan Robert Lange

                      Paul, this absolutely cracked me up. πŸ˜‚ A blonde walks by, the leeches finish the job, capitalism kills the Sabbath, and the devil clocks everybody back in. Totally tracks, my friend. πŸ›οΈπŸ›‘οΈπŸ–€πŸ™
