How things change

Peter picked a pickled pepper

Then he picked some fruit,

Polly watched and wasn’t pleased

She thought him to be rather rude,

Peter said what grows is free

For anyone passing by to pick,

But Polly was a corporate shill

Who said I own all of this you prick,

And life is not the way it was before

Now there’s a cost to everything,

And at this point she rang the cops

And now Peter’s rotting in a prison cell,

And nobody is outraged or doing anything.

  1. Peter should have kept his hands to himself.

    I really like this one. It reads sort of like a nursery rhyme but with a poignant subject matter.
