The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."

The Diet of Worms

Politics, religion, sex,
these things that often us do vex
flavoured with too hot chilli
and served abundant until we’re silly.

so satisfied we really ought
to be but argument and indigestion
becomes the answer to the question.
