That Garden Fence
Self-righteousness
Self-righteousness sat upon the garden fence
Unctuousness
Unctuousness came along,
“Oh, can I join you?“
in an oily almost slimy way.
Of course, of course.
How NICE to see you
self-righteousness cooed
as she slid her slimy fingers up his oily thigh.
Oooh. I do like that.
I thought you spoke so soothingly today.
I swear that you will soon convert that family.
Yes. I think so too.
It’s like I always say,
bad will eventually flee from the presence of “good.”
… … …
Oh! What a pity. I ‘ve lost my lollipop.
I’ll be on my way.
I’ll be here next week, I’m sure!!!
I’m sure you will you young man …
