My Choice of Crazy

Don’t send me party invitations

that demand I only wear a right shoe.

I would rather drink tea with Alice

than sip from a patriot’s cup.

I care not for flag waving conversations

about the disaster of affordable

while demanding legislation

that rewrites my rights after rape.

If I am to drink tea with crazy,

let it be in the garden of my choice,

where a mad hatter, a mouse

and a rabbit are entertaining

with their lips spouting nonsense.

I am in such a writing struggle lately. I am producing mediocre, darn it! I have read through my fellow toads pieces for this challenge and they are wonderful!! Kay, your blog hates me. Just wanted you to know I read yours and it is a strong piece of unfortunate truth!! Kudos!!
