Anniversary Song

When you left us, you forgot to turn off the lights.
And everyone saw.

Now the bed knows you’ve gone.
The mattress springs forth
Volleys of coir abuses,
The headboard stands
With head in hands,
And the pillows have all curled up and assumed
A foetal position.

The television is feeling cheated.
Now all alone in its two dimensional world,
It throws out garbled signals,
It vomits reality shows,
The audio comes and goes
And its reception will never be
Warm again.

Your toothbrush has wilted.
In a fit of peppermint rage,
It bit mine in the neck.
Now it’s become a lout,
And cleans the grout,
Maintaining illicit relations with my
Bathroom floor.

When you left us, you forgot to turn off the lights.
And everyone saw.
And everyone saw.

That is one vicious toothbrush. Great image! Such rage.
