Come to WORD!
If you’re football, premier league
beginning to feel a little
relieved
we’ve got a sonnet for that.
If your girlfriend’s mailed a
letter
and your name’s John, first name, Dearest,
we’ve got the
pentameter.
If you’re angry, blame the government,
take a stand,
we’ve got the stanzas.
If your life is feeling fine.
If your heart is
fixed with twine.
If you’re free on a Thursday night..
Bring your
husband.
Bring your wife.
Bring your dog if it’s imaginary,
there’s a
policy on children and animals.
Come bearing gifts of iambic and verse
Come if you
love, come if you yearn
Come if you hate it, especially you
Roses are red, we’ve
got the best tunes
Come on your own
Come as you are.
You bring the
words.
We’ll drop the mic.
Boom.
