IMPROMPTU PROMPTED BLOGGERISH

Nursing Homes - Haiku and Tanka

OLD MAN (It could just as well be a woman)


Perspicacity
and Hop-Along-Cassidy.
Primogenitor,
sits alone and waits to die,
remembering old TV.

Incontestably,
a tragi-comedic state.
Undubitably.

Now bring in the clowns,
on Reality TV.
True reality is gone.
Kookla Fran and Ollie? - dead.
Wont someone come hold his hand?

Howdy Doody Time?
Where have all the real clowns gone?
Lying dead, in bed.

In the Nursing Home,
the old man changes channels.
Oh - Jerry Springer.
TV is populated
by those arrogant ass-holes!

Poor old man in bed.
Lying there waiting to die.
Watching his TV.
