Subject: Acceptance

Acceptance

Secret kangaroos carry
The Lord in their pouch,
Or a bottle of muscatel
To refrain from battle...

Let the sensitive sun
Be a monitor gun,
Or the frown on your face
When you aren't having fun!

Just don't marry your relations.

We started out simply
With nuggets of useless gravel,
Checking our wallets periodically.
(We thought they were seeds.)

And of all the rules,
Our favorite was the search
For that elusive Joey,
The one in the stories.

Our glory was red
Chapped skin peeling away.
We could wait, as long
As we were paid for waiting.

And a few of us dreamed we had
Actually married our sisters.
Poor fellows, poor dears,
The years were harder on them.

When they cried, we would all
Slake our thirst.
The worst of the world being
That which we had to accept.

Like flipping a flapjack,
It just had to be done,
Our sunny way,
Praising the psychological din.

-Gray Squirrel
