Wednesday...a poem



  • I can’t wait for Wednesday and the silence of the phone.
  • No incessant ringing and the politicians’ drone.
  • I’ll be unencumbered by the shrieking of the ads
  • That play on t.v. and on radio; they’re driving me quite mad.
  • I will treasure all the silence; I will revel in the quiet
  • I can’t wait for the non-ringing, yes I really want to try it.
  • I will thank the stars above for bringing to an end
  • Yet another endless cycle of the politicians ginned-
  • Up promises of votes they’ll make on issues big and small
  • That they tell us will improve the lives of not just one but all.
  • So bring on the silent Wednesday, and give my ears a rest.
  • Then take the promises that each has voiced and put them to the test.
