A Plague Upon BA ROOFING HOU

In one way I am thankful
the turd-face who belongs
locked in a room infested
with COVID-19 invisible torturing

murderers chose my credit card
to feed its fucking greed, because
I was bereft of ideas for today’s
Corona poem until I discovered

the hemorrhoid-face had ripped my card off
for five hundred dollars, discovering
this after a text message from my bank
urged me to check my account,

which I did, and discovered the
shit-breathed remora had tried
three times to hit my card today
with the first two declined,

while enjoying the charmed third,
after which I managed to speak
with a live human voice in my bank’s
fraud department, and learned that

there was no way to stop the debit
but that the bank would make good the
theft and that I should destroy my recently
updated card and expect a new one

to arrive in about a week, plus some forms
to fill out for their records, which the
fraud specialist said would not necessarily
mean the thief would be identified

and prosecuted, whereupon I expressed
befuddled dismay while remaining
respectful of the fraud specialist’s
undoubtedly Herculean task in

assisting bank customers victimized
during these months of presumably
ubiquitous predation by dead-rat-rotten
offal-souled privy slurping pieces

of...oh, use your imagination, at least
my adventure in digitalic mugging gave me
these lilting insouciant stanzas to further
brighten your already sunny pandemic day.
