Poetry Friday: A Meme Poem

Susan, at Chicken Spaghetti, invited us to join her in a meme poem, ala Donika Kelly. Kelly’s inspiration was a meme from 2017, so I went back to see what else made the rounds that year. Remember this grand entrance? As Professor Robert Kelly conducted an interview with the BBC, his daughter marched into the room, her baby brother rollered in behind her, and then his wife rocketed in to retrieve the uninvited interview guests. 

Here’s the video that went viral: 

And here’s my poem: 

Life Interrupted 

Oh, sweetheart, 

March! 

Burst on the scene, 

exultant. 

Jubilant. 

Lead the parade. 

Insert yourself. 

Settle in, take up space. 

Suck the marrow of life. 

Act like you own it, baby.  

Because you do.
