Blazing On The Dunes Of Cape Cod Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Monkeys don't do hula hoops.
Unless they've been smoking weed,
Grown on the hills of the Himalayas.

Nor do parakeets have humps like camels.
But then again I did hear one sing,
'We Are The World'
Wearing 'bling' as bright as a fire...
Blazing on the dunes of Cape Cod.

And I thought about all of this,
As I prepared for my dive
From Golden Gate Bridge!

Maybe I should accept that I'm nuts.
Since I would never contemplate suicide...
Dressed like the others,
In rented tuxedos.
