RAMONA MOANS and GROANS

A very silly sonnette, plus a bit…

By izzy ess of wilderness

Ramona, moaning, groaning, in the night,

In sight of light that shows the dirt and grime

That time engenders with the traffic of

The lobby and the halls and elevators.

Seems that she is anxious lest another

Person say that she is quite nefarious

Concerning germs and specks of dust that may

Accumulate while she is charged with being

Super of this building with her trusty

Servant husband who is told to barge

Into apartments and disturb the privacy

Of tenants and their pets who live

There as she seems to think it is a privilege

To pay high rents and be cajoled about

The rules and regulations that are quite

Unreasonable with regard to simple

Ways of life for folks who have an income

That is fixed and limited… Perhaps,

She should admire the Man who is the Head

Of her religion who once said, “Forgive

Thy neighbour.  Love thy neighbour.  Love Thy God.

A person with a BMW

Is not allowed to enter Heaven.  It

Would be much easier to fit a camel

Through the eye of needle than to get

A wealthy man with wealthy car into

The Kingdom in the Sky.  Your lackey husband

Doesn’t heed Our Saviour’s Words and Warnings,

Nor does he respect the sinful rest

Of us who have repented and will surely

Go to Heaven quite despite what he

Calls sins because of breaking rules and regulations,

Not so biblical, as they

Are manufactured by themselves and tenant

Owners and their supers, based on Germaphobia,

Obsessive cleanliness and profits for

Them, all.  Besides, their often quoted CLEANLINESS

IS NEXT TO GODLINESS, is nowhere written

In the Bible.  Nor is HAVE NO MERCY

FOR THE TRUE BELIEVERS IN GOD’S LOVE.

I have forgiven you and turned the other

Cheek.  Oh, what can be your next intentions

To harass me and engender flight?

I am quite stubborn but the writing’s

On the wall.  The future’s Bright and Light!

I bless you and I pray for your in-sight.

THE END
