A fatal mistake - or con-fusion?

orchidee

Well, not fatal exactly - but what?

Inviting me kindly to contribute on Fusioned Poems

I'll probably muck 'em up

99% of the time

 

If I've nothing much to say, I'll tend to say it anyway

Say 50 words if 5 will do!

Some crass, some inane, or insane

Mad comment of nuttiness

Throwing the whole poem off-beam

Leaving any sense of - well, sensible-ness

(Is that a word?!)

And causing comments of 'What's that got to do with it?!' Doh!

 

It's only old Orchi muckin' about

If ya can bare his very old corny jokes

Fido may come up with better verse......

 

I'm a con-man

Causing con-fusion! (geddit?)

Dunnh how I thought of that stunning pun

With only me 3 brain cells!

LOL

    Sometimes puns just come out like burps unintended. I too have a hard time with fusion poems Orchi you are not alone.

    • orchidee

      Thank you SB. Will you add any old rubbish to Fusioned Poems, as I tend to?! lol.

      • sorenbarrett

        You are welcome Orchi I think I just did on this last one.

        Miss Berles has disallowed the participation in fusion poems if they use more than 18 sylables

        • orchidee

          Thank you M. lol. Aww, I checked - mine has 19 syllables. lol.

            Has anyone found a missing 'L' ?

            • orchidee

            • Doggerel Dave

              You must at least attempt to establish a sense of self worth, orchi - otherwise one day you could find yourself a member of a poetry group ......

                Did ya stagger back in amazement at that pun? I expect it from poets, ya know! lol

              • Tristan Robert Lange

                Con-Fucian? As in Confucius? Wait, the Fucians were cons? And, most importantly, who the hell are the Fucians anyway?!?! Popeye wants to know! Ah-gah-gah-gah-gah! 🤣⚓️

                • orchidee

                  That dang Popeye (or Tom or Obi) got in again. Didn't we meet a Fucian one day, you and I? lol.
