V is for Vague

by Paul Angelosanto

my views
on life are
rather vague
yet I still
feel queasy
when I see
Alexander Haig
so I went to
a dime store
to buy some
philosophy

I asked the
clerk for
something to do
with
non conformity
he said,
"Sorry, man
but we just sold out."

so I hit
a bar
and tried
a drinking bout
but every
grandiose idea
I had
just wouldn't
stay down

then I met a witch
who wore a
flowing black
nightgown
she wanted
me to become
a born again
pagan
but I was
turned off
because she
voted for
Ronald Reagan

Thought I'd
run off and
become
a monk
but all
they wanted
to do was record
top 40 cds
so off I
slunk
went on the
road with a
few deadheads
had some fun
but in the end
they turned into
brown acid heads
thought I could
find myself
in Memphis
with the
King
but I found
I was too
young
to be
Anne Margaret
plaything
tried to believe
in re-incarnation
even though
it goes against
the grain
got scared
when I
found out
in a
previous life
I dated
Shirley Mclaine
so what did
I learn
from all of
this?

I'm not too
sure
but, maybe
sometimes
ignorance truly
is bliss
