Weatherhed-fetherhed
Emily Dickinson
where is that small bird that
perches and sings?

It's found a stone statue
somebody made of you,
sits on your marble head
{and other things}.


Sorry, it's been a crappy day *groan*

Obstacle-lobstacle!
Alex has ardently
(characteristically)
stomped a few bugs:

maybe his Nikes are
slippery-slickery--
cytotaxonomists
sift through his rugs.

--C.

Hopalong plopalong
Talleyrand-Perigord,
Under the monarchy
Priest, lover, wit.

Rising to eminence
Napoleonically,
Until dismissed as a
Sock full of shit.

My first poetry since my long forgotten adolescence, when poetry erupted like acne!

Time to bring this thread back to the top for a while. I'm getting tired of iambics...


Chivalry-trivalry
Sir Walter Raleigh did
lay down his over cloak -
for it was seen!

But understandably
that was his livelihood
thinking up more ways to
brown-nose the Queen.

Snortily-sportily,
youthful George W
squandered his brain cells on
more than just pot.

Everyone says that he's
not too intelligent,
though he was smart enough
not to get caught.

Mopily-dopily,
federal prisoners
rot in their cells for pos-
session of drugs.

Stupid suspension of
citizens' liberties
ups the net worth of Co-
lombian thugs.

Dope-ily mope-ily
Crack's little children are
constantly crying for
relief from pain

all because parents are
mope-ily dope-ily
abusing their liberties
again and again

Liberties? Fliberties!
Medical prophecies
only encourage this
"crackpot idea" ;

prenatal punishment
stems from just one parent’s
physiological
need too feel "free"-er.

Crackery-quackery,
verbal side-trackery,
used to impose Prohib-
ition again.

Blackity-flakkity,
studied statistically,
drugs arrests heavily target black men .

Prisony-wizeny,
poor people languish in
jail till they're old, for a
trivial crime .

Hollywood-Jollywood,
wealthy celebrities
do what they want and are
pardoned each time .

Sickly-Domesticly
beat up their spouses and
screw up the children the
rest of the time,

using their vehicles
flattening pedestrians-
abusing a drug is a
trivial crime?

Shady-debaty,
with dubious logic, you
punish potentially
possible crime.

Punish the actual
deed that's committed, not
those you predict will oc-
cur in good time.
