PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

ECW wrestling fans

are bad

when someone misses

a maneuver

the crowd starts chantin,

“You fucked up!

You fucked up!”

It’s kind of juvenile

when you think about it

so don’t think about it

just take it at face value

and accept it

for what it is

which is just entertainment

but it is a bad influence

even though

everyone is too busy

blaming it on television

but I don’t really

see a difference

I watch

and I listen

but it gets hard,

at times,

not to fall under the spell

there are times at work

when someone makes a booboo

and I want to start chanting

“You fucked up!!

You fucked up!”

but I bite my tongue

there are times

at the grocery store

when someone drops a bag

of groceries on the floor

and I note the error

but keep tongue in check

sometimes I find

myself changing,

“EC-dub! EC-dub!”

which is code for

“You fucked up!

You fucked up!”

and it makes me feel

like a buffoonish cartoon

much like the wrestlers themselves

I ain’t sure

if there’s more merit in it

but it sure is fun
