DON’T STAND SO CLOSE
DON’T STAND SO CLOSE
I find that I am moaning loudly
in public places & saying Oh God
quietly in private spaces I can’t
figure out if I have stolen an umbrella
Or not Someone removed mine *(Giverny inspired)
from it’s hole and left me with
a gunmetal surrogate
I snapped it up with aplomb
Now a driving rain has made a mess of
my hair And if I ever spy said Monet
on a street corner I will flay the bastard handling it
