A PRIORITY OF URGES

Greetings Hairballers,

Urges--we all have them.  Here's a little hairball for your enjoyment that came from a visit with a friend back home in DC.


A PRIORITY OF URGES©

         FMHorner

urges come, not necessarily
in order of importance

seldom
at a convenient time.

walk in the door
it’s too hot for your coat

toss it on the floor
rush toward the bathroom

because you have to pee
but you crave a cigarette—desperately

fireworks going off outside
you see them from the balcony.

still, you have to pee.

go in miss the fireworks
stay out, be miserable.  which?

so, outside it is and it’s cold
the coat lies on the living room floor

the cigarette you need is in your hand
the lighter on the desk inside

still you have to pee and

the phone is ringing, ignore it,
let the call go to the machine

but, it could be mr. right
than again, it might be mr. wrong

and still, you have to pee—desperately.

Is this easy for anyone?

Hairballs to all until later this week when the crazy politicians set my teeth on edge and we have an OMG.
By the way, the NHL is back starting Saturday.
