Francie Lynch Poems

I hold him responsible
For the loss of my humanity.
I used to be so understanding, forgiving, empathetic;
But now,
...

I am Canadian. We are considered average and polite.
I will remain so here.
We are a socialist democracy.
You, a capitalist democracy.
...

Potus fallin'
Flotus stallin'
Scotus appalin'
...

The smoke, not the fire,
Got in my eyes;
The idea, not my brain,
Lives on outside;
...

I've been shot,
Yet dodged the bullet.

Thanks Anti-vaxers
...

Napoleon stayed in Elba,
Pulling his bone apart;
Lenin was in Siberia,
So deep, none heard him fart.
...

So many things happened
So many years ago.
You hitch-hiked to have tea with Mammy;
But not me.
...

The cock on the steeple
Proclaimed and denied to four corners, and
Looked down and twisted.
Old men in green suits with crow's eyes and
...

Damn.
I ran over a toad
On the way home,
In front of the courthouse.
...

You won't like
Your colonoscopy,
I know,
I've not liked mine.
...
