spores

furry and funghi
blooming white and blue
grew from careless spills of inexperience
The spores have spread
From within the fridge
And its plastic ledge
I have pledged so many times
To keep as clean as out
But despite numerous clouts to the head
No one has successfully lectured me
I agree that they have drained me in their efforts
Taught me the ecoli right and wrongs
Mopped the very tongues of my words
In order I speak politically cleanly
But I never like your flannel
Nor the cardboard panels
You hide behind
When focus is shifted to you.

Oh God, Speaking of bitching about people. I had a week from hell last week. Cant go into it here. OMG, thats a wonderful way to look at them. I had just made my mind up it was the spawn of the devil, giving me hell on earth.I cant wait to escape my cage, and be free of those blabbering lips of negativity. Ok good then, I got what I should have from your clever spore poem!

Hi Love
no and yes.
its totally up to the reader to make it out.
however
its to do with social groups

sometimes I just write even if it just makes no sense, just so I can get it off my mind, its often subconcious stuff, this I think is about trying hard not to bitch about people.

Hum, Im unsure if this is about spores.But if it is, well it wont hurt you unless you eat them. I would say wash them up, with bleech or vinager. This is a clever poem, to be sure! I never saw a spore dressed in flannel, and Im glad. I cant say as I much care for flannel myself, unless its very cold, then it may be nice to have. Good write, very exciting story about those spores!
