Someone invented boredom,
Disney got rid of it.
His claim to fame is
your destination.
Long queues.
Short rides.
Shows where people talk
and animals act.
Eating stuff
and drinking stuff.
Visiting restrooms.
Buying stuff.
Walking.
Waiting.
“Stroller parking.”
Benches made of recycled milk cans.
Animals made of Lego blocks.
Boat rides through rubber jungles.
Tour guides with scripted jokes.
No tobacco.
No alcohol.
People, people, everywhere.
(Only the cleaners are invisible.)
People pleased to serve you:
How’s it going today?
It’s their job,
but never mind.
You are one among thousands,
but never mind.
“The happiest place on earth
just got happier.”
Did it make you happy?
It didn’t make me sad. There were good moments and tedious moments. In the end, my nephew enjoyed it, and through him we did, too.
Bunny: If you ask me, it does not appear that it did!
Hi,
having read this piece, I think that you should share also your poems at the group meetings 🙂
I really like the flow of the words and the imagery!
