NONSENSE VERSE

Goop and Saccharine

Suzanne Somers wrote the answer

Three’s Company cures all cancer

Anthony Robbins grew a goatee

And short’ed his name to Tony

Deepak Chopra and Lululemon

Talking aphoristic New Age heaven

Live, laugh, love and floss

Lap up all that sugary dross

Gweneth Paltrow sells real Goop

Using colonics to make her soup

Repurposed the rocks in her head

Shoved them elsewhere up instead

Bring me the head of your ESA

Not tomorrow, I mean today

Well good God, Morrie, it’s all too much

Mitch Albom, Ellen, an Oprah crutch

Am I the poster boy epitome

Of really callous insensitivity?

I know, I know, life is hard

Thank Christ you got a loyalty card

You are different, you are special

Not just your average human vessel

Recall that Earth is big, older than you

And you, my friend, are nothing new

You might step outside yourself

And leave the charlatans on the shelf
