No Bingo Today

When I saw the no bingo
Sign today, I yelled GREAT–
I hate that game! People
Sitting around playing for
The chance of winning
Potato chips or soft drinks,
When I would rather win a
Big, fat bacon cheeseburger!
Oh well, it gives elderly
People something to do at
The senior center.

I stand still
I feel Monday’s soft face
Lightly caress my left shoulder
Most cherished part
Most important here and now.
