Fix-It Bop




Fix-it Bop 


this Bop is too small 

to hold all my problems 

20 lines and one refrain - 

which problem to choose?

family issues? 

health and aging? 


<DRAMATIC organ music>


mama died, daddy won’t listen 

mom in law died, everyone fought 

thyroid quit, clothes got smaller 

arthritis plagues, we limp along 

IBD flares, applesauce sucks! 

Covid takes hostages, Zoom ain’t the same 

work is exhausting, no time to read 

spring cleaning is backlogged, I just want to write! 


<Pitiful violin>


My spirit needs writing 

Bop, Bop, Bop, <dun, dun, dunnn>

when earth’s axis is tilted off kilter 

it’s our hope in this space 

that’s the key! 


<soulful saxophone>
