Metaphorically speaking
she is a couch potato with
a heart of gold
answering siren song of
heart-tugging
tear-jerking
infomercial paeans to
starving children
abandoned pets
endangered land
forking over credit card
access with every
channel change
racking up enough points
to travel the world
times over
yet never leaving
her living room
therein proving irony
most always stranger
than fiction
even when the facts
don’t get in the way
