Miss Scarlet
in the dining room
with the lead pipe.
The media
in our minds
with lies.
Sit down.
Simon says jump.
Jump.
Society says sit down.
Do this, do that.
They mould you like play-dough,
but this is no child's game.
You pay out
more often than you pass go.
There are as many snakes
as ladders.
Life's fantastic
being plastic
if you want to be a Barbie girl
but there is something questionable
about the puppetry
in this show.
Sometimes I wonder if I write poetry about topics other than this.

Of course, in one try you've beaten me on everything except sheer volume.
