the sins left behind from the mischief / September, 2022

vignette:

the Queen is dead and personalities across the spectrum

are seen grieving to the far reaches of the extreme.

the whole extravaganza looks like a prank to avoid prosecution.

24 hour cable commentators from the U.S. are dressed, on air,

in deep mourning black, and I’m left to question the supposed

connection, or the actual sincerity, let alone the appropriateness.

happily, there are alternative listings in the TV Guide.

says here on channel 64, it’s the episode where,

on the morning before her big date,

Marcia gets bopped in the nose with a football!

In this poem-writer’s opinion that’s must see tv, and besides,

how better to honor the passing of a stuck-up Queen?
