Who does give an F?
The sky is blue
The sun shines bright
The moon and stars
...

White cloud puff will-o-the-wisps
Boomerang geese honking up high
Pink grapefruit sunsets blushing
Over sleeping fields of sneezy grass
...

The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold,
And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold;
And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea,
When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee.
...

...

...

Sudden flash, crash, uproar.
Skin burns, eyes water.
Blinded by the toxins,
Stagger away to the roadside.
...

Scatter me on a fine summer's day
When honeysuckle blooms over pergolas
Shady and bumblebees buzz around
Lavender borders. For I want to blow
...

Sweltering in the afternoon,
Soaking up the silent sunlight,
Strains sound softly soothing,
Suites on strings serenading
...

Everything in moderation
Some things more than others
Don't show off your wealth
Cut right down on alcohol
...

...

So important to have a system
To rank the people we encounter
Family, school friends, work
Colleagues and then all the rest,
...

Who gives an F... anyway about
The endless wallowing in self-pity
Vomited out in pixelations onto
A non-existent page to mingle with
...

I wish we could have them back,
Those days of sitting together
On our huge flowery sofa
Reading stories out loud and
...

Just imagine if homeopathy worked:
We would all be fit as fiddles,
Full of beans and ready to go
No recycling, drinking piddle.
...

I'm so sorry I'm late for work,
I got held up by something strange,
A ray of sunlight through the clouds
Took my attention off the road,
...

My neighbor runs his own business
He's a 'bespoke' watchmaker you see
Getting all those fine craftsmen
Together to make seriously wonderful
...

Big ball of yellow cheese
Enveloped in acrid fumes,
Blue dot Earth shining
Inside geomagnetic field,
...

...

What is this garbage, this
Nonsensical blithering and
Blathering of half-baked ideas
And solipsistic soliloquies
...

They search for food on the internet
They search for food on the internet
They wear avatars on the internet
They wear balaclavas on the internet
...
