Mediocre Poems

Off The Record

Moon rocks and crackpots
Wannabes on the block

Feeding the frenzy, worms for the bait
Casting the hook, reeling it in

Cards are cheap
Just ask the price

Waiters stay waiting
Humans keep ordering

Month and day
Our sign awaits

Museums and coliseums
One for the dead, one for the living

Policies are reforcers
Police are the reinforcements

West gave birth to North
What about East and South?

Timers hold the time
Clocks move the hands

Barking dogs
Meowing cats

Running horses
Driving cars

Gold is money
Money, there's lots of it

Keeping up with the Jones's
Keeping up with the news

The crime rate is up
Sick of them crying the blues

All those sob stories
Listen to our stories

Lopsided disc
Insert the tape

Rewinding to the beginning
Playback from the start

Endless words
Endless thoughts
