Day 125

Today's words:

Flag
Wardrobe
Corn
Lawn
Rebel
Velcro

I don't go around waving a flag
As part of my wardrobe.
I leave that corn
To others, as they sit on the lawn,
Wearing a Rebel
Button affixed with Velcro.

She used Velcro
To attach the flag
Of the rebel
Army to all the shirts in her wardrobe.
Sitting on the lawn,
Eating corn

On the cob, somewhere in the corn
Belt.  She ripped off the Velcro
Strip around the hose and began to water the lawn.
She raised the flag
And went in to go through her wardrobe,
Looking for signs of rebel

Insignia.  She wanted to rebel
Against all this corn
All the time.  She wanted a new wardrobe,
One involving less Velcro,
And it hadn't been her idea to put the flag
Pole out on the lawn.

Around here, your lawn
Has to be manicured just so, or you'll be considered a rebel.
They'll come take your flag
If you're not eating enough corn,
And you've got to have enough Velcro
In your wardrobe.

The average person's wardrobe
Around here is good for working on the lawn,
Or going to the mall, and that's it.  The Velcro
Fasteners on everything are for dolts, but only a rebel
Would want to cut back on corn,
Or not salute the flag.

By changing her wardrobe she let them all know she was a rebel,
Not content to sit on the lawn eating corn
On the cob all day, playing with Velcro while saluting the flag.
