Cuddling some cumber
Under glummer-humbled bummer booms
Crumbles dumbell dooms of dumber tumbling looms
For under old encumber-tumbles
Ever rumbles golden numbers
Sundering the wonder rumples from the crumpled slumberooms
Listen you slumbergutting, numbertutting
Lumber-cutting thundermutt
Get your skiddle-doddled fiddlemanner
Of widdlegrained scattermasting
Out that riddle-stuttered, bitternutter, buttermiddle door!
Gutter your sniddles
Diddle your fudders
Shuttle your smitters
And witter your cuddles
And for the swee-dankle scatterbats
Of splatterhat’s chorus!
Stop changing the words in my bloody thesaurus
You are a member of the Universal Association of Paradigm Activators.
You were sent here on a strict and definitive mission to do whatever the hell you feel like.
You will be overseen in these actions by a council of supervision dedicated to absolute success; prodding you every step of the way to complete whatever it is you are arbitrarily doing at the time.
They will punish you severely
if you ask them to.
They will restrict your god-given liberties in the pursuit of a goal
if you so design.
You will be judged intricately for every action in your lifetime
if you want.
There is NO ESCAPE from the legislative requirements of this mission, be they of absolute consequence or none at all.
You have no choice in the matter but to go in the direction that you are in the process of going
And should you change that direction…
So!
In summation, you are to report here every day!
You are to do stuff. The End.
And we don’t wanna hear no guff about it.
Lest ye be guffing that guff out your own guffing guffer
You understand? Doesn’t matter.
Good job.
Help me to begin again
I’m lost and have lingered away
It cost me a lot, I must say
Please help me get back to my den
The darkness, the fire, the zen
The knowing the humour will stay
The glowing in sun of the day
Help me get back there and then
I’ll care for my heart like a hen
I’ll comfort the eggs it will lay
I’ll hatch out its love and I’ll pray
My heart be a den where you stay
And then I’ll go wander again
High upon the hills of Lion’s Landing
Billowed with the winds of Aronlee
Clad in olive gold that day lay standing
The heaving spectre hulk of Alan B.
The grip lay worn upon his haggard sceptre
The kingdom lay in ruins at his feet
The halls shall now forever reek the nectar
Beswelled by him as well his creature Pete
Oh hail the mighty righteous kingdom razer!
Regale in soaring song and tankard wines!
Beware his magic sword of Jedi laser!
And his heaven-sent Ford Taurus of divines!
So cast aside your tales of golden idols
Hold high your iPod Nano of the Free!
Forsake your worthless family, home and titles
For the sultan saviour king of Aronlee
We have this idea in modern poetry
That it shouldn’t rhyme.
That if you’re rhyming
You’re doing it wrong
And quite frankly, you should really stop.
And I quite sincerely agree.
Poetry’s raw~
It’s not like a song
Where you’re humming along
And the rhyming’s the timing that carries it on
We don’t need that
Poetry isn’t some fairy-tale conjecture like music is
It’s real
It’s from the heart
Not some tiddlywink fancy-grammar
Meant to twiddle your dew-gumbits
It’s powerful flowing waves
Crushed from the ocean of humanity
Meant to hush our very souls
With the utter calamity of this endless
Cosmos spinning about us!
I mean how could a poet, in all seriousness
Hope to touch on the majesty of these whirlwinding
Roars of bliss and tragedy that paint
Great swathing splashes of triumph and atrophy
On the bone-marrow canvass of our brittle lives,
When they’re caught up in such juvenile flourishes?
You simply can’t summon or possibly capture
The misery, the fortitude, the cunning, the rapture
Of this divine random babble of beauty and sorrow
In duty of chasing a misty tomorrow
With only what graces the heavens may grant! ~
If you’re caught up in rhyming
I’m sorry, you can’t.
The puddles are pink with the sky
The leaves have come down from their high
The moon peeks a sleepy-still eye
As the birds fly like spectres alone
Such craggle trees that grapple not
The lonesome breeze and heavy trot
Of apple knees to people who
Wander wayward, wary too
My shovel down, I hovel up
Betwixt the silent roving hub
That drips its eerie silent way
Forever at the end of day
