Ext. Polly's Family

Extended.  Grocery bags really.  Flimsy
things that you could knock over
things you want to fill up
your choice
          garbage & the latest
          Weekly World News

Combat boots and Lipton Iced Tea
There is a lot          to think about
before filling up.               There's how
all these items will spend their time
w/you          will they rise to the occasion,
get you stuck in the past
lead you down a dark path
to self-destruction
          Butter pies may be a
          symbol of your unconscious
          desire to chew
          your mother's head off
Polly doesn't chew well
All her meats get stuck in her
                                   throat
          choke her a little more

                    She has forgotten
          she has a blue summer dress
gathering wits between the folds
               I'm a tough old bag
Don't worry
                    says the bag
You do your thing, I'll do mine.
