Rice Pudding Day
A rice pudding day
Underway, you know,
More rice than raisins,
The Iron Kettle forced
To close, unpaid taxes
The notices pasted on
The windows say, sad
Really, 19 years of
Dreams, drudgery and
Jobs gone just like that,
Everyone still riding the
Bubble paddling with
Plastic, refusing to take
The clues, the hints, the
Signs seriously, our so
Called experts increasing
Deficits, borrowing to
Get out of debt, are
We mad to believe
This crazy conception,
On the raisin side, Chris,
The special needs man
Showed me his first poem,
It’s special to see a soul
Start dancing even though
The boards on the floor
And the wiring to the
Fixtures don’t seem to
Have been installed
Properly.
