The 33rd
A lot of chores I hate to do With deadlines on my calendar — I'll do them all sometime this month — Like maybe on the 33rd I take a large loan from a friend, He asks when I will reimburse — I said, "I have a great idea," "Let's wait until the 33rd!" I have a date for Saturday, I learned she grew a beard — absurd! My date texts, "When will you arrive?" I text back, "On the 33rd!" My doctor said I need a shot — I hate needles, I must defer — He asks me, "Free on March 18?" I tell him, "Nah, the 33rd!" I have to do an interview — I smoked some kush, my speech is slurred — The recruiter asks, "What day works best?" I murmur, "On the 33rd." A taxi drops me off at work — A lovely drive, a nice chauffeur — My card declined, I look up, smile — "I'll pay you on the 33rd?" I'm speeding down the 405 — The cops pursue, I flip the bird — The police tell me, "Pull over!" I scream out, "On the 33rd!" They catch me, pull me over quick — The police have the final word — I asked them, "When will I be free?" One cop says, "By the 33rd!"
