The Times are Changing
A vague and unfound meaning hides
hovering close to an unknown thought
until this strange poet decides
there is no meaning which she sought.
But now that the words have been said
she’s willing to settle for this
meaningless gibberish instead
with syntax always hit or miss.
Now that Chuck and Mike are married
they can adopt a child or two.
Would this be justice miscarried
or just what lovers ought to do?
Things are not like they used to be
but i can’t let that bother me.
