Shelley Bruce riffs on nonsense.



Nonsense


By Shelley Bruce



Yesterday nonsense was rare but not precious

Today nonsense is commonplace yet highly valued

Yesterday nonsense was transparent

Today nonsense is opaque


Yesterday nonsense was trapped in a deviant mind

Today nonsense is shared by group think

Yesterday nonsense was transparent

Today nonsense is opaque


Yesterday nonsense was muted by common sense

Today common sense is swamped by nonsense

Yesterday nonsense was transparent

Today nonsense is opaque


Yesterday nonsense went viral when married to humour

Today nonsense is a virus that grows a brain tumour

Yesterday nonsense was transparent

Today nonsense is opaque
