Morrissey Hates Tea Cozies

He said so, with
a screwed up, mortified face  
when the female interviewer tried to gift him one.
 
Said it looked like a hat,  
one of those skateboard kids, wears, and
I decided I needed to take a few cuttings
from the garden where he grows his fucks.
 
So I did.  
 
But I bought a filter for them
because I care about Jesus  
enough to not spit in his eye, like
Morrissey would , and
I don't believe in bribing God
to get into Heaven, like  
the Oprah's of the world, do.
 
I planted Morrissey's clippings  
in my own garden, and  
one thing about growing fucks, is
they don't come with an instruction manual.
 
Learned that the hard way, but  
the Proverbs 31 Woman, made
it look so easy....
 
(I wonder how many cats, SHE had??)
 
Now that the fucks are fully grown,
I have plenty of my own to give  
as clippings.
 
(Payin' it forward, you know?)
 
And maybe that's all anyone needs--
a few, select , fucks  
and the know-how to give them.
