Is there
anything
More
addicting
Than a list?
A grouping
of like items
Ranked
in order
Of best to least
I always
get sucked in
Reading
and pondering
Considering
my educated additions
Posturing
opinions
Assembling
in my head
My
favorite list
Of
favorite things
That are the best
Not all
lists
Are as
captivating as others
I read but
am not addicted to
Lists of best
places to live
I feel
those have nefarious undertones
Possibly
have been fixed
By
whichever Chamber of Commerce
Was the
highest bidder
But when
it comes to music
Or
books
Or movies
Or
food
I am all
over it
So I list
my lists
Run them
over and over
Like:
Top Ten uses of the word
baby
in
a Led Zepplin song
Or:
Top Ten places I’d like
to visit
from
a Daniel Pinkwater book
Of course
there is always the popular
Top Ten aliens that you
would have supper with
And don't
forget the ever fun
Top Ten Pee Wee Herman
Show
Words
of the Day
that
you Screamed Real Loud!
But I can
do better than that
Like:
Top Ten cheeses that
smell bad
Or:
Top Ten restaurant
bathrooms
Maybe
even:
Top Ten desserts made
with avocado
Which
leads to:
Top
Ten non-oral sounds my body makes
And I
could go on and on
And try
and shamelessly self-promote
With
something like:
Top Ten poems by me
But I
think that would spawn a negative list
Something
cruelly titled
Top Ten reasons
To
stop reading right now
