*I wrote this fun little poem while sitting at Burger King, eating my hamburger and onion rings. It just kind of “came” to me lol. It is meant to be cynically humorous, hopefully it is.
How Crazy Am I?
I don’t know
a 10?
Nah…
I ain’t THAT fucking
insane.
A 9?
Well, I’m not
quite drooling
on myself yet…
at least not
on a regular basis.
An 8?
That sounds about
right, but
over the years
I’ve learned
if something sounds right
it almost never is.
7?
Lucky seven?
I sure ain’t
been lucky
in this life,
or any other.
6?
Sure, let’s just
settle on six.
Because really,
who gives a shit
anyhow?
And I’m tired
of counting.
