Cheering Up

" Cheering Up "

by Suzán Jiván

Performed on YouTube
as, " Needs and Gets "

Needs and gets
some connecting
some projected
as pratfalls for airheads
of unfussy love
cheering up,
" I tawt I taw
a ting da draw "
Over the long haul
with a winning score
of the skinny sort
forfeited in autumn
sinking ball after ball
more and more
Mourned
as recognized stories
while laughing along
but holding off
guffaws
in happy-go-lucky
unauthorized
designs for life
held off to the side...
