In Verse: Today in Minot

Sting–My Songs (deluxe)
“A Brand New Day”

keeping my data private does no good
so I eat my blueberries on oat bran
and give the pancakes to congress

God gave me the gift of the Lady Bug
who has turned into a Viking Dragon
and we will both play the kazoo

while we plan for a vacation to an
American Dream where the promises
and grants, the social acts are real

and the Empire is dead
where mercy is surely give for granted
and we all have straps on our boots
