Something is Amiss

I spent twenty-two dollars on oranges
I don't even like oranges
But Josie was selling them
fruit baskets to raise money
for her band uniform
and her clarinet
It's October
I called her parents
and told them she had left the house
in a pair of beach sandles
with no socks on
She had to make the rounds of the entire
neighborhood
She needed to net two hundred
and thirty five dollars
while my tax dollars
fund bombs
we will never ever
ever EVER
use
