||| FROM BRUCE HANNA |||

Chat with a young TV

Yes, I am pretty!
Why here on this limb?
It IS morning, you know
Not many uplifts yet
and such a bother to…
as you say… FLAP my wings

But let’s talk about YOU
and your kind, lots of you here
Also waiting for something to die?
You seem to wait so long afterwards
Smells like a few months…
Is that why you use so much spice?

And you, you’re getting, well,
kind of tough and bony
…just the way I like…
only two legs, not four
and so much wrapping
What’s that all about?

Spot of coffee on your chest…
with brown sugar, organic milk…?
You have lamb, squash, and carrot
I think, in your beard from 35 hours ago
and fresh flakes of sticky bun
EWWW too sweet for me
