EARLY MORNING FLATULENCE

stomach rumbling
breaking wind
mind tumbling
sleep deprived
will it ever end
and just when
you think
you haven’t got a friend
the kettle boils
and the jazz station
sooths with their tunes
and a sweet dripped coffee
in your hand
and your muse says
strike up the band
and the dozy DJ
gets it all wrong
and plays an advert
instead of a song
and I follow up
with this sentence that
runs on and on
I don’t go to my place of face
with all that’s wrong in the world
so many wrongs to right
and this old boy
can no longer take the pace
we all seem to be good
at crying wolf
but the wolf says
let the populace piss and moan
they have no power
and we, the wolves,
know where we are going
and they I mean us
will look at the results
and like the bully in the schoolyard
will have our lunch money
afraid of the sharp punch in the belly
and where we should have
wills of steel
all we have is jelly
sign another petition
that gets hacked
and you get spam back.
my gut comments
and the result has a shitty fragrance
so much for early morning flatulence
