Work:
Mindless compliance
Hard-working word reliance
Narrative science
Meetings with my defiance
Flick the Boogered alliance
Whiteness covered rains
Pelted twelfth floor window panes
Pissed off and in pain
Still stuck with these fool-filled vains
Automatic lay-off feigns
Nature:
Saucers and dumbbells
Evening clouds, blue skies, fresh smells
More refreshing spells
After stuck with these fools’ sells
Cumulous cloud tells
Family:
‘Paw’ re-hydrated brain
More color to his face gain
Water – don’t abstain.
Reduces the aches and pain
Dry coughs less but more to drain
People:
Man hated project
Governed by burning Bush wrecked
Spitting lies infect
Helpless on closer inspect
River bank of disrespect
More lies from abroad
His very being she clawed
Fist clenched with tight jawed
Moral and legally flawed
Projects left in stupor awed
Family and Nature:
Plucked the red threads
Whistled as parakeet sheds
Bobbing of their heads
‘Maw’s cotton sweat pants of dreads
Pulled like tire treads
Seven more samples of tanka in monorhyme.

Oh, John Jr! That’s longer than I would ever imagine, especially for your conditions! So I shouldn’t rant like this…
