Day 155

Today's words:

Poster
Baboon
Leather
Button
Scandal
Spar

The boy had a poster
Of a baboon
In his room. The animal was sitting in a leather
Chair and wearing a Clinton/Gore button.
Makes no sense to me, but I'm not going to make a scandal
Of it, or agree to spar

With those who would. To spar
Over whether a poster
Is a scandal
Or not seems a waste of time. So what if the baboon
Is wearing an old political button
And sitting in a leather

Chair?  I'll put on leather
Boxing gloves before I'll spar
With anyone. And that button
On the poster
Was obviously Photoshopped in; it was never worn by the baboon.
There's a scandal

For you, if it's a scandal
You seek, and not a leather-
Faced baboon
Or someone to spar
With.  Look closely at that poster.
You can see the button


Was added later. If it's the button
That's provoking the scandal
About the poster
I'd say forget it. Put on your leather
Gloves and spar
With the baboon.

Yes, he knows how to fight, the baboon
Does. Button
Your lip and prepare to spar
Over an imagined scandal.
Or throw down your leather
Gloves and forget about the poster.

Only a baboon would cause such a scandal
About an old political button and a leather
Chair.  Why spar? It's only a poster.
