They
tell me to be kind, warm and fuzzy
but
someone please tell Al-Qaeda
They
tell me to vote right
They
tell me to vote left
They tell me to get totally confused
They
tell me to support animal rights
They
make fun of animal rightists (does that make you an animal leftist?)
Or
get really nasty about animals.
I
think all I want to do is stop and visualize.
The
poetics prompt today at dVerse Poets is “bumper
to bumper” – a poem based on a bumper sticker. I had so many to choose from I couldn’t
make up my mind, so I used a bunch. To see more poems, please visit dVerse Poets.

Bumper crop... good title! :-)
Funny- I like how you incorporated the bumper stickers into the poem itself.
Here's mine:

so good glynn...i'm laughing tears over here...never discovered your dry humor until today..smiles
whirled peas sounds like baby food though...but perhaps that is what we need...it is pretty confusing with some of the cross polination and assumptions made with beliefs...
Glynn, I enjoyed your collection. Cleverly composed.
So fun. When you get down to it, we come from so many backgrounds and viewpoints. Life is confusing!
confusing... who to listen to... maybe our inner self after some quiet time
Great title. Quite a collection of political statements.
I make a point of never having stickers on my car.
I had to laugh; the word verification is "sheap".
I love how you did this with all the bumper stickers. It was fun without losing content.
Fun with bite, enjoyed it a lot!
That last one cracked me up!
bumper sticks are like crops, they are powerful and could be fun.
yours are very beautiful ones.

It is rare that I ever enjoy a bumper sticker. They just rub me the wrong way sometimes, but I think I might be a bit of a curmudgeon sometimes. Having said that, it's no surprise my bumper is bare.
I think the Lost-your-cat one is likely to have you coming back and finding your car scratched or those tires slashed.
These ones put together like this demonstrates the noise they all create I think. :)

''STOP THE VIOLINS''!! Ha --- that's what I been tellin' em fer years.
''visualize Whirled Peas'' now, that should be a presidential slogan in 2012 for someone.
funny and enjoyable poem. thanks.
good ones Glynn... you got me laughing on the last one!
Tee Hee :)
Yes Glynn you've done an excellent job of summing up our society today in one short post! This pretty much covers quite a bit.
beautiful job.
it seems like you are telling a story along the bumper stickers.
