Lucky Charms Shirts
Gone the way
Of the once-great blue boy,
The fast mammal
Who Google indicates
Is in fact not a rodent,
Is a pair of leprechauns
Each promised morning meals and good cheer,
And laughs for as long as their dye may last
Alas, that hour glass
Full of marshmallow sugar
Has gone dry
As has my patience for garments
Of a certain ilk
(This poem is the spiritual successor to a one I wrote several years ago titled Sonic the Hedgehog T-Shirt, Version 3. For context, it goes like this:
“Sonic the Hedgehog T-shirt, Version 3
Sonic the Hedgehog T-shirt,
Bleach-stained
By laundromat betrayal.
You are a home-shirt
Now.”
Thank you for your time)
