Proposal Letter Shuposal Letter.
“Ain’t nobody got time for dat”
Once upon a time, being a googly eyed romantic at heart, I might have drafted such an earnest and honest letter in cursive; while taking into account all the changes in societal norms and expectations. But now all it takes is a text,
“U up?”
(ironic punctuation added as a nod to past formalities, but by no means current common practice amongst today’s texters )
Direct and to the point.
Surprisingly successful as well.
So many things to brush
Teeth
Hair
Pets
Beard
Clothes
Toilet
Pro Tip: Best use a unique brush for each.
Right tool. Right job.
Then the things to brush off
Creeps
Ignorance
Misinformation
Gossip
Nastiness
Lies
Stinking thinking
Trolls
So many things to brush off. So little time.
Right tool. But don’t be a tool
For expediency I painted this post with a broad; you know what.
But one thing you should really brush up …
You can keep your beads and trinkets of late stage Capitalism. Give them to the yowling tongue lolling running lackey dogs of the petty bourgeoisie. I’m content with a salami on rye with a big ol dill pickle. But you best not be stingy with the mustard mon frère.

Hey!
Looky what I was fed
On my YouTube feed
Today
I do
I do I do I do
Love onions
I have been told that I use onions
Where no onions have been used before
But I wonder
Did YouTube’s
Algorithm alchemy
Feed me that video
Because I watched this video
Que
Cue
Queue?
I’ll refrain from sounding it out in ‘Merican
By shouting Quweyyy! As in Sooie!
So push your snout to the trough
Squeal away to the head of the queue
But get a clue
Whatever you do
Don’t miss your cue
Or you’ll have to sue
Pecking order sorted by brute force
Not a kinder or gentler course
Stampedes are the wurst
There I ago makin’ sausage agin
Divine right of kings
Royal schmoyal bling
Invisible caste system test
Visible caste system’s fest
Modern civilization delivers most
To the back of histories queue
A cue for the future queue
As sheep with out a clue
But no butting
As kids called line cutting
Now get in line and stop your whining
Because the uncivilized entitled
Need to gobble their fill
Of inhumanities fine dining
Time to take your organizing pill
Because queue courtesy is vital still
Recipe to turn a typical day
Into an atypical day:
Pour in your noggin
Monkey brain chatter
Lizard brain chatter
Right and left brain crosstalk
Add all your favorite savory
Cognitive biases and fallacies to taste
Fold in concentrated confirmation bias
Now fuel that with some chemicals
Prescribed or otherwise
Heat up with opinion of pundits dujour
Bring ingredients to a rolling boil
Now go do something
Even if it’s wrong
Viola!
Oopsie daisy. Just another typical day.
Well, that’s the way the cookie crumbles
