There is no doubt,
the world is filled with a myriad of nincompoops
Today's world especially.
I heard a right winger legit swing these words on National Television
"The older generation must sacrifice their lives for the sake of the economy"
NINCOMPOOP!
I see red everywhere,
but this sunday morning I have decided to take the all appeasing blue
a bold one nonetheless
and paint YOU COULD GET CORONA TOO.
Don't be that idiot who thinks
the virus will swing by you
and not harm you.
Not too old
too smart
too insignificant
for the cornea less corona.
But you can definitely be too stupid.
Can't believe this is the gift
I am getting for my well deserved retirement.
Teaching common sense to the so called well educated generation.
You can balance work with a life only when you have a life.
You might think I am being Captain Obvious
but that has what it has come down to really.
Simple, rudimentary, life saving instructions
which we somehow are incapable of listening to it seems!
Maybe I should just use the red paint after all.
Yes Captain Obvious you are right.This is all very reminiscent of The Third Reich thinking. Hitler must be laughing wherever he is...he won after all !
ReplyDeleteI believe even Hitler would have common sense to preserve his self.
DeleteSpot on, and yes, I would use the red paint to get the attention of the MAGA hat folk.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should body paint them with germs
DeleteI love folks who practice “straight talk!”
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteAmen Samyuktha!!! I so agree! I have not heart the term nincompoop in such a long time, but it is so fitting a term for that right winger!! So glad you joined us this week at the Muse. Be safe and keep preaching! The world needs it!!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteCornea less Corona!
ReplyDeletenice to see you comment after so long :)
DeleteYou speak truth. My response to this prompt was too Raging Granny to even post, I went a bit over the top with outrage. Smiles.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if my comments on other poems are getting through? Testing.....
DeleteOutrage is the only legit response. Yes comments are going through :) I have just been a bit lazy and I had a small spam problem. Now it is taken care of :D
DeleteYes paint in red. Perhaps the nincompoops will be able to read it.
ReplyDeletePerhaps they'll close their eyes xD
DeleteCommon sense combined with wit – and I like the character you've created, too.
ReplyDeleteHehe thanks
DeleteSo true. It's unbelievable what needs to be said these days. The misconceptions, the foolish beliefs, the botched-up priorities.
ReplyDeleteAnd I learnt a new word today - nincompoops. I wish it weren't so, but I know I'll be using it for lots of people (usually in my head though).
I love screaming nincompooop
DeleteVery well done !
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think it’s better to just stick my head in the sand. Not to worry though...I will certainly be pulling it out of the sand to vote. Hopefully we are all still alive by then.
ReplyDeleteHopefully elections are still possible
