Just When You Thought it Was Over

I was starting to think that this blog was getting a little too serious - you thought so too, right? In the nick of cyber-time, along comes an e-mail from Heaven with news that sent me whirring to the log-on page at the Blogger thingy. It was a notice from Ticketmaster, reminding me of an important concert event coming to the Wachovia Center in Philly in July ...

POP TARTS PRESENTS: AMERICAN IDOLS LIVE!

Whoever decided that Pop Tarts should sponsor the American Idols tour is a marketing genius. To you, sir or madam, I remove my figurative hat in tribute to your keen sense of irony. Pop Tarts indeed. I even wrote a little poem:
The perfect sponsor and
symbolic twist
for such a group of twits as these.
To you, my friends,
the tarts of pop,
I wave my private parts
and sneeze.
Thank you, worthless TV show, for making me funny again. I couldn't have done it without you.

Same to you, Simon. You pompous clown.

I feel much better now.

I didn't know you were a poet!
The visual was a bit alarming though. ;-)

When I am so inspired, the words flow like water!

Get inspired more often for me. I like poems. Even the ones with alarming visuals.

I used to do poems. i have some in an old diary that would be of no interest now. I may lapse into poetry at times, if so inspired.

The alarming visuals do great things for the mind. :) I was expecting only to find a pic of good ol Simon to post, but pleasantly surprised to be so surprised.

Thanks for reading.

I don't know, Mandi, but I'm glad you did! Giggling is fun.

Do you think the folks at Pop Tarts get the joke?

Thanks for reading - and giggling.
