ESSENTIAL


You can only leave your house
If the reason is essential
But one person’s essential
Is another person’s recreational

Playing outside with the kids
Is absolutely essential
Get the urchins outta the house
Before they drive you mental

Sneaking to the park for a drink?
Maintaining some level of inebriation
Is essential for survival
And thus not a violation
Of what is permissible

So don’t quibble too much
About the meanings of words
Else you might find yourself
Lost among the birds
