"MISS INFORMATION"

by "Sassy Sue" 06/13/2005

 

These F.R.G. meetings, what are they really about?

A form of anger management, of that there's no doubt.

They send in "the cute one", the "Hilfiger in Greens."

He talks and he talks, no one knows what he means.

 

"They're here, but they're not." - "Well, they're actually there."

You can't help but question, "Are they anywhere?"

"What are they doing?" - "What did they see?"

You'll get as good an answer if you just ask me.

 

They keep us guessing, not quite "in the know."

Then they excuse us and let us all go.

We stand on the sidewalk, talk shop for awhile.

We joke and we laugh, then depart with smile.

 

I get back to my car, set down the notebook,

The one that I bought for the notes that I took.

I open the cover, the page stark, like fresh snow,

Not one written word, no information to show.

 

There's a scribble or two, kinda looks like a duck.

I learned at the meeting, as an artist, I suck.

There's another one down, tonight's gathering done.

I shall wait with excitement for the next one!
