Harris fortitude went awol

lest ye seek alms
with outfaced palms

just imagine
how the lantern shone

against the knees of Archelaus,

and lit up the check-board pattern

of the eleemosynary trousers

 

Fatigued civilian attires reasonable rhyme
challenging readers to dare themselves

question yours truly what ranks as

unleashing trademark punishing crime.

 

Words worth more'n fine spun gold

courtesy those considering themselves literate,

perhaps recipients of countless laurels extolled,

nevertheless mediocre (ha) logophile

crafts poem(s) inducing scold.

 

Dire straits force me to abide

the law of self preservation

and espouse with permission granted

by Bedřich Smetana

to abscond with bartered bride

think infamous American robbery team

Bonnie and Clyde

responsible for a 21-month

crime spree from 1932 to 1934

 

as analogous nefarious
transgression in league with human
author of mine verse, thus thee decide

to befriend bipedal hominid,

who scours earthwide

(and if necessary extending search
beyond outer limits of twilight zone,

where dark shadows

slink along the edge of night)

 

for fine prairie home companions
ideally from Lake Woebegone,
or outliers with documentation falsified
turning to humble Homo sapien

as their spiritual guide,

he will be game and willingly surrender

mine Yankee doodling dandy buttucks,

his posterior gluteus maximus hide

if he falls short of promise

to bring webbed wide world bliss

witnessed as emasculation

toward himself intensified

cuz truth be told

interpersonal connections

allow, enable, and provide

kinetic, opportunistic, rhapsodic,

and universalistic joyride.

 

All decked out like one base 2 ace

of spades, or king of hearts

traveling at lightspeed thru cyberspace

traveling as binary unit with amazing grace,

the zeros flickering like a moonface

hopscotching between nodes uptrace

sing journey across the Internet.

 

Many a favorite YouTube tutorial venue

represent virtual re: digital haunts I review

to bolster pulling myself up by bootstraps

such sites out of webbed wide world

include basic digital electronics,

computer networking fundamentals,

how transistors work, plus

miscellaneous other tidbits.
