Before we get into the prompt, I want everyone to click here to read the new Poem Nicely rules. 99.9% of the readers of this blog do not fall into this category. However, I want everyone to know what I will and will not tolerate on this blog. And if you have any questions, send them my way. Bottom line: I want this to continue to be a supportive and poetic community.

Wow! After today, we'll be a mere three days from the end of this challenge. Today is a two for Tuesday prompt, so you've got two options:
- Write a hopeful poem.
- Write a hopeless poem.
Here's my attempt:
"Commuter"
He commutes an hour to work each morning
in his car, which means he listens a lot
to the radio. This morning, he heard
a responsible commercial about
how a restaurant only uses free
range pigs for its pork. This provoked a laugh
from him, the thought of being a better
establishment because they slaughter pigs
that had a false sense of their own future.
Then, of course, he felt sorry for himself.
