With water bottles always at hand.

And texting while walking

Or perhaps it’s just part of their brand.

And so joined in a game with a cord.

She became so besotted

With being tied up and knotted

She won a macramé award.

A woman who was decidedly cute,

Was wearing the flag as a suit.

Her breasts were displayed

When the anthem was played

So her nipples could stand and salute.

You create the problem

And then weep over your lot.

No-one else to blame.
