S'more sprawling poppycock

rew4er2nail

Chock·a·block discombobulated poem

for your reading pleasure

dashed off ad hoc

my final literary endeavor before

hour hand affixed

to intricately carved cuckoo clock

displaying carved leaves, birds,

deer heads (Jagdstück design),

other animals, aquatic militia man,

 

etc feigns firing flintlock

(announcing onset of

daylight savings times)

said French soldier christened Jacque

dipping paddles of oarlock

into time stream

as the sun beats down,

he doth shockingly unfrock.

 

Once again modest wily word wizard

sports, struts his stuff inarguably

a blinding blizzard

of poetic gumbo mumbo jumbo,

his convoluted crafted vizard

easily misinterpreted as offal

lee batty, quirky, snooty, trippy...

who honestly doesn't know A from izzard.

 

The ticking seconds will not wait

while yours feebly cobbles etches

across blank figurative slate

lame resultant impasse I narrate

experiencing disappointment

earlier spurt of balderdash,

gibberish, rubbish... which I hate

yet must suffice impossible mission

to complete satisfactory poem does agitate.

 

Vainglorious idea to employ

daylight savings time

even a mediocre reasonable rhyme

futile effort finds current strife prime

juncture to breakaway

and resume later nighttime or

call writing aspiration quits

crowded house that for being sublime?

 

Unlikely literary pursuit or aim

will find yours truly a best seller

never experiencing accolades

nor remuneration to claim

truth be told, cuz I haint seeking

neither fortune nor fame.

 

The principle impetus explaining zeal

to discipline generic human to hone

his ability, where basic blocks of English

language (words) linkedin incorporating

mental cogs and gears mesh
making (mishmash) as figurative wheel

in the sky keeps on turning

 

perhaps divine intervention

intercedes as yours truly takes

lock, stock, and barrel of himself, one

bumbling, grumbling, tumbling schlemiel

cue hapless characteristic vagrant tramp
as viewed courtesy black and white newsreel

enroute to meet cobbler, cuz worn out heel

actually kind individual stopped to offer hobo

an uber lyft courtesy fancy automobile.

    well, then dear poet - next time, just finish your write later, no such thing as time constraints within poetry's sea of limitless creativity, lol
    and lock, stock and 'two smoking' barrels, is one of my fav's, so you get immense kudos for finding a fit for that mouthful in your rhyming flow
