Dear __________
Your letter dated December 9, 2009 BLEW my mind! My reply may give you pause:
STAT! Emergency! Insurgency!
CODE BLUE --- CODE BLUE
Out of the BLUE
“We have identified a misspelling”.
So Spell check has failed you.
Who “BLEW” the whistle?
That U committed a “BLUE-PER”
That you “BLEW” it
And I’ve got the “BLUES”
Paying your dues
For a system in collapse
Tolerating your lapse.
Why not yield BLUE SHIELD?
Concede what’s humane
Refrain from a creed of greed.
Don’t BLUE CROSS me
For singing the BLUES
