Purple Tuesday

 Purple Tuesday


You’re a little slick 

called out sick 

tried Monday 

and it didn’t fit 


staring in the mirror 

for a full minute 

you take a pill 

pop in a disc 


it’s purple Tuesday 

it happens this way 

once a quarter 

you need a reset 


purple Tuesday 

your personal holiday 

shared with your 

favorite planet 


friends are gone 

weather sucks 

megalomaniacs 

destroy it all 


you can opt out 

in your choice of gowns 

six hours are yours 

off the clock 


purple Tuesday 

begins to play 

here to celebrate 

no one else 


purple Tuesday 

the parade 

starts in a cookie jar

then goes straight to bed
