Bureaucrat Smack

For my husband, who has spent more time on hold than is good for a person

Good Afternoon you’ve

Reached
(you poor sod)

The Office of Red Tape Reduction

May I put you on hold

bleep
bleep
bleep
bleep
bleep
bleep
bleep

Forgot

I wish I were one 
of those
particular/remarkable/incredible/kind

That remember

Who gave what when
And who did what when with
And what year was it when
And where were we when
And who was there

Those kinds of people
seem so/are so

Thoughtful and
together and
grateful and
kind

(I am also thoughtful and together and grateful and kind)

But forgetful

Chronically
Tragically
Hopelessly
So

So so so

So

Poddle

Poddle
verb
To walk with slow, short, or unsteady steps; 
to proceed in a dawdling or uncoordinated manner



I might as well get comfortable 
With poddling through the day 
As poddling and dawdling 
Are more appropriate for my age

No longer 
Slick and sleek

But really rather slow
 
Meandering and
 Measured and 
Wobbly as I go

Oh
