It’s No Good

         It’s No Good                     Grandma shakes her head. “It’s no good,” she says.           Food, friends, neighbors, children, grandchildren,                    her aching joints;                    all no good.           She needs her troubles, lives to complain.           Tired of this, I turn on the TV, but find her there too.           The weather’s no good, the market’s no good,           Politicans are no good, foreigners are no good, ...

This is what it sang:                          Bitter my life and bitter my death;                    Bitter my food and bitter my flesh!           Yet it sang so sweetly!             I wondered why, so I pursued it, calling out, “Beautiful bug, what ails you?”           The Monarch replied:         ...
