The Back Row

The Back Row

A Poem by Kenneth The Poet

the back row fuckheads
even think the furry clusterfuck
on stage is less entertaining
that seeing paint dry and
grass grow at the same time,

and then the Barney theme song
comes on and the collective
intelligence quotient drops a
few more points and the amount
of participants in the Cupid Slide
can attest to that,

maybe the forthcoming zombie
apocalypse is closer than we think,

maybe it's already here

Almost comical last two stanzas, very potent...
