A tone-deaf woman in Tucumcari
made a wish to sing like a canary
Her perpetual sadness
has now turned to gladness
It’s just eat, tweet and be merry!

Hugh Hefner, also known as 'Hef'
To most females was quite tone-deaf
He recast grown women as fawning bunnies
Who drooled over his scantily-clad wad of money
tone-deaf
unintelligible
mumblings
escape into the air
like nails spreading
across a chalkboard
causing confused
expressions to spread
across the faces of those
around
break out in an all out
two left footed choreography
the look at me look at me
show has begun
TONE DEAF
Blind men searching for a silent sound
amid the cacophonic ruins
of solitude’s deafness.
