End of World Hunger Day

The ‘festival’ (which didn’t happen)
Did not take place on Friday the 13th.
Poets did not read, slides weren't shown. 
The best 100 rock bands did not play. 
Concession stands weren't staffed 
And the people who didn't yell and clap 
Did not leave hungry which was a good thing 
Because there were no police there
To prevent a riot. Donations will continue 
To be received. Tickets will still be sold
On a first come not served basis.

Please post this notice as a public
Service announcement until the date
Already mentioned fritters itself away.
