My interpretation on the mid-month NaPo prompt was to write a poem about something I dislike or find absurd. I concluded this because the assignment was, while seemingly counterintuitive, to write about something I have absolutely no interest in; but not like indifferent to (apathetic). I was also invited to investigate why I don’t give a damn. Here’s my take.
Superstition
I’m curious about few woo-woo,
but astrology ain’t in my playbill.
Are there 12 or 13 signs?
There’s yer sign.
Who TF cares, Ophiuchus?
People read that shit?
Believe? Live by?
Superstition sings
not by constellations,
not by birthdays.
Connect the dots,
but not that crazy way.
Fun, interesting, or amusing?
Blame the Babylonians. I couldn’t care less
if they left one hanging dingleberry.
You do the math. Is one two?
If I’m interested enough to care
I will ask, not your Zodiac sign,
but what kind of beer do you drink?
Look both ways when you stare into the night sky.
Identify stars, planets, and constellations.
That’s astronomy. That’s science.
Mind the gaps for the wonder of galaxies.
🤣😂😁 <— Means giggling in present day meme speak! LOL Love this!! (P.S. Blue Moon with an orange, but I’ll settle for Shock Top with the orange of course!)

I was born under the little noticed star sign Potator Vini.

What? You don’t care that I’m an Aries? It’s just a sign? C’mon man… (insert heavy sarcastic tone, here). However, if you are serving drinks (a much more important piece of info), I’m as simple or as complicated as the situation calls for… Most times, a beer will do 😉

You got a deal. Besides, it is required for Canadians to drink beer, right?

I’ve recently discovered an Icelandic porter I enjoy, and a local stout named “Convict Hill.” 🙂 I am sure your standard are up there.
