It need not
be quiet
or silent
Conversation
is limited
unless you talk
to yourself
Today
the radio
television
computer
can entertain
you
Or drive you
mad enough to call
random numbers
on your cell
phone
Impose
upon a friend
In desperation
call the police
No don't do that
they might
accidentally
shoot you
Prior to verbal
contact
Don't anwer
the door
with your cell
in hand
It may be construed
as a weapon
Be very good
or Santa Claus
will pass you by
Don't cry
the tooth fairy
will exchange your tooth
for a dollar
Don't play
with yourself
hair will grow on your palm
or you will get zits
then everyone
will know
Go to church
and pray
or when you die
you will find yourself
in hell
In your twenties
the evil dictator
has the bomb
you must destroy
that monster
If you don't
go to war
we will watch your ass
and the rest of you
as a suspect
as a possible traitor
and that may
not be a lie
