Judgement Day - a grave burlesque
June 11, 2020
A cheated thought, avast!, comes boarder, out of order
Belaying and gainsaying my more proper sentence
A clumsy juggling grammar-crammer into hole in corner
Woodworks; my possets, efforts, violently to rhyme
A clashing cymbal
Or maybe dashing thinker?
In an eyeblink flashing wit to bear the thimble
Away; in burning breviaries of nimble fealties
Which closet clerks of works would cosset, testament
To die for
A certain caste of late has passed into my mind
Most sudden verdure
God sent it hand-delivered, happy as a grocer’s van
To a doorstep strews the cans to fanfares from a marching
Band. Maybe?
And comforts dwellers settled in against a movie
Who smile and slug on half-a-dram of crusty fable
Drop grocer sixpence, eating fries with other hand
In giant silence?
The contretemps of fortune might decide whether plebeian
Or whether elevated rarefied compost
Considerable manure to food the seeds of children’s
Wise ways, raising essays, and comprehensions,
Abrogating vision?
A spectacle to a preconditioned audience
A celestial load of agricultural and ancestral relevance
Dumped as a doorstop
Of no small fettle – a munimental cerebral concept
Or then again scrap metal in a scrapyard hoist?
In fact an unparticiular, badly-levelled, textual heist?
A jemmy could have opened on a policeman’s holidays
The takings had from such, rough scourings; choicely
Must roule
Shopwindowed as of passing show, of much facility
Reflective but of surface than of feat ability
Catechumen of letters, rivals, betters, civilly
Would soar above this clay
But winning, when such an innings flexures, lectures
All the way, makes
Tete-a-tetes, de facto, vis-a-vis, per se
On situations’ stipulations come what may
Bringing concrete solid block and tackle rattle dizzens
Against a head that thinks by jinks to escape its prison
Wits shake up crazy lights in eyes, as eyes saw through
A prism
No less however does this rhymer bank upon his mission
Despite derision
Let there sometime somewhere at least be some
Division
Ayes to the right, Nays to the left, no party wall
En masse abstaining distancing by dulled don’t care
A naysayer aware far better than indifference
But a yeasayer’s declare for me no inference
Lowly before the Holy we at last must make our stand
And fallen, miss the mark, being those of whom were driven
Out of The Garden
Who thinks The Almighty offers Brownie Points to rhyming,
Needs open up their windows, google, do some earnest priming
