Falling asleep in front of the news,
with heavy lids that blink, then close.
More importantly–I’m up for Jeopardy.
Drones drone on, news only gets worse.
With heavy lids that blink, then close
I miss earthquakes, fires, and stupidity.
Sometimes I think it’s a rerun.
More importantly–I’m up for Jeopardy,
after a good snooze during the news.
Some questions I know, but am too slow.
Drones drone on, news only gets worse–
destruction, corruption, domination.
Good time for a nap.
