On the fence

I like it here on this perch,
I examine the grass on both sides
Debate their merits with old Tom
Who mews his song

It's just this: my butt starts to get sore
I get the urge to jump
I get the urge to gag old Tom
Who's not much help, really.

But having jumped, I regret quickly
I miss old Tom
I miss the view
I start looking for another perch

Of course, whenever the outcome is unknown, Tom is Schraedinger's cat. I just borrow him every now and then.

I didn't realize, tho, that every poem is dirty from some perspective. ::sigh:: I'm learning a lot from Poor Man's Telepathy.
