NSA, you can have it all
One day that great, benevolent gatekeeper
of truth, justice, and the American Way,
the NSA,
downloaded all my electronic dealings.
This is what they found:
-14 calls from telemarketers
-a text message from the electric company saying I was $14 over budget
-7 calls from my girlfriend
-2 calls from my wife
-1 call from some guy I met at the gym
-682 junk emails
-4 e-bills
-1 email from my car saying it's time for service
-21 texts from sugardaddies.com (don't think these were for me)
-6 texts from discretearrangements.com (these were mine)
-2 wrong numbers from some crazy bitch saying I owed her alimony
-1 collect call from my kid at Yale; she's in jail
-2 calls from some bill collector saying if I don't pay by Friday, they'll repossess my Bentley
-1 call from my mother wondering why I never call
-1 other wrong number, but she sounded nice, so we chatted for a hour
-1 rejection letter from poetry.com for my poem "NSA, you can have it all"
Finally, at 10:33 pm, I went to the electrical panel and pulled the main breaker.
I lit a candle, poured myself a glass of wine, smoked a blunt
and thought: I have to be out of my fucking mind

(LOL!!) (LOL !!)
Truly appreciated your humorous take on our government's very own version of 'friendly espionage'!
Nothing like a little harmless invasion of privacy...right? (Hello, 'Big Brother"....)

This read was wonderful and cheered up my day...
I find that if you type any word on gmail...up comes ads for a product that addresses your possible agendas. I keep getting tons of email for sexual prowess (I only have female sounding first names - ?????) and then lots of banks want to offer me their credit cards (I never use them) plus when I log on...I get a lot of good looking women in my area (why not men?)....plus I get religious mail from several religions....I am in an intermarriage but not polygamous....too bad a woman cannot have 2 husbands....hmmm
Enjoyed tremendously

Try downloading the browser extension called 'Adblock.' It will block 99% of all ads in your browser.
As for gmail, some good stuff there, perfect for your next sardonic poem.
More than one husband is called polyandry, quite common in Tibet, but afterall, it is rather chilly there and every woman should have a few husbands to keep her warm. Anyway, so this poem was inspired by your penetrating looks into everyday life. Thanks Kitty.

It was only recently that this
particular insecurity agency
came to the fore over here...
previously, the only NSA
I'd been vaguely aware of
was the National Sheep
Association...

My dear, Dartford, they just want you
to think it's only about Sheep at
the National Sheep Association, but
what are they really doing in there?
Shearing for the latest sweater?
I don't think so.

Yeah, even I have to take a walk on the wild side once in awhile. I'll get back to my sappy love poems soon enough.

Often the comments are more entertaining
than the poem. Nothing like stirring up
a discussion.
