Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem

The mushroom sitting next to me has curls

On top.  He emanates as boring as

Accounting made of grungy beige, smudged pearls.

His shirt is colored like a mushroom’s jazz

Though not that charismatic.  We suspect

His shoulders hide steel scrubbing pads inside

Those polo sleeves.  I worry he’ll infect

Me with ennui as dull as East Kilbride

Though he is Waitrose English through and through.

The bourgeoisie personified, he makes

His tidy notes.  MacDonalds cheese, not bleu,

He yields, extruding nearly tasteless shakes.

  No indication is apparent in

    His crotch that he has ever bulged to sin.
