Laureate

Someone make me poet laureate
of the nation - I'm not the
army-joining sort but I'll
happily serve the country
with my half-assed rhymes.

Failing that, I'd assume the
state position flitting from
town to town to disseminate
my guttural gospel, my
Loosely hinged rants.

Or, perhaps, the cities
official scribe, rotating
amongst the schools, sharing
with the kids just how far
a portion of a Masters Degree
in history can take you
these days.

What about the speaker of
the neighborhood, a tour
from house to house, raiding
a refrigerator here, catching
the lady of the house in the
shower there, all for the sake
of my depreciated two cents.

If nothing else, I can claim
laureate of my own house
but, as no one else here
writes such things, the office,
it seems, falls to me by a
simple default.
