The Day of Banal Rituals


Those ruled by the number 6 magnificently
Attract sympathy but also express it hey that’s
Today! if you were born on this day wrap your
Jangly nerves in your mom’s white scarf or
Panties either one will do for this essential ritual
If you were born today don’t regret you didn’t
Have someone else’s lousy children after all
They grow up to be voters one day instead
What you should do is betray the very number
Of your nativity with the most vivacious grin
If you were born today smile a lot for free!
That’ll show ‘em whose boss right? and hurl
The first stone when you sing those bluesy
Canticles waving the white flag of your name
