Work. (A Poem dedicated to Emma Goldberg)

 

 


 

I retired long ago,

so I could watch a TV show

when I wanted, and besides

commutes are really awful rides.

I stayed broke and homeless while

all my friends turned mercantile.

now they all have condos where

they sit and at not much do stare.

Me, I moved in with my kids

and raise jellyfish and squids.

I loose these nasty beasts on them

who say I'm lazier than phlegm.

I do a little dumpster diving,

and yet my ego still is thriving.

I have had a great career

sleeping late and swilling beer!
