"Bands"

by Jozi

The band plays.
The band aids.
The rubberband's elastic ways.
Band together.
Anna's band.
The shame of the Land's Contraband.
Bad man Band-it.
Don't dis-band it.
I think I married a contrabandit.
The band of love.
How I love thee.
Bands of Holy Matrimony.
A naked hand,
without a band.
I lost my man, I lost my land.
Divorce the man.
Melt down the band.
Go to a land with lots of sand.
Make a plan.
Take a stand.
Take your life back in your hands.
Sit in the sun.
Have some fun.
Before you know it, life is done.
