My poem was written,
But, was dropped on the desk.
And, became a big jumbled,
Unbelievable mess.
I tried hard to fix it,
But an endless loop.
A pile of word babble,
And, alphabet soup.
Lasagna and hot dogs,
On shiny clean dishes,
Try high octane whipo,
On potatoes with whiskers.
Cyber space scene,
In my cup of Earl Tea,
Brush the hair of an anteater,
Or, shave a dog’s flea.
Turkeys in tuxedos,
Oliver and the gruel,
In a flattened pontoon,
Float on a carpool.
A dare-devil peacock,
Turns around on a dime.
For a chicken wing side dish,
With ice cream, just fine.
Jammed paper jelly,
Leaves a dull paper cut.
Tail wags the kite,
The kite wags the pup.
The receptionist smiles,
At the peon with clout.
Baby walks in smiling,
Throws the bathwater out.
Palm trees and snowballs,
In Beta Fish tank.
Play hands-on football,
Food scraps then flank.
In the end, I can’t find,
The meaning at last.
A poem for the shredder,
And, dreadful first draft.

Awesome write
Thanks Tony! Glad that you liked it.
Welcome
I just love you sense of humor LOL
the kite fly the pup line is killer.
great fun my dearest WBL. ww
Thanks so much WW! Gotta keep the sense of humor, and try to look at the bright side or else all is lost..:) I do get a kick of out that Beck song. In particular, his Bozo Nightmare line. It makes perfect sense for a lot of what is going on in the world, unfortunately, today.
You're as daft as I am - love it!!
Thanks! I really do appreciate that. We are genius-types...:) Your paintings are just beautiful. You are a great poet and great artist. So, I guess I am in great company. Thanks so much for your comment, Michael.
My pleasure WBL - I see you also like classical music - something else in common !! I am also a cartoonist - don't tell me you are as well?
No. Unfortunately, I do not draw. I am in awe of those, like you, that can create humor, satire and beautiful art with the brush, pen or pencil. I do enjoy the peacefulness of classical music. It brightens up or suits any occasion.
Twas Brillig and the slithy toves ~ Did gyre and gimble in the wabe ~ All mimsy were the borogroves ~ And the mome raths outgrabe ............. ! Beware the JABBERWOCK my Girl ~ He'll put your words all in a twirl ~ mix up all your verb and noun ~ and make you look a proper CLOWN ! Thanks HONEY a bit of JABBERWOCKY is what we all need to lift our Spirits in 2017. We've only got TRUMP for 8 years max ~ so it will soon be over ! Love your Poem and the joke ~ I use prunes ! ~ BIG HUGS BRIAN
Ha Ha. Your comment took a lot of work, and I appreciate it! I did reference the Jabberwocky, Lewis Carroll info. And, when I was a kid, we had a Sunday morning Jabberwocky show on local TV. It is a great word, but I wanted to put my own spin after having heard that Beck song for years on the Radio. And, I like prunes too! Thanks for commenting my Dear Brian!
This poem is great!! I can't pick which line I like best. Genius though! Great work! Christina
Thanks Christina. As I mention in the comment, was driving to work yesterday morning and thought I needed to do a proper poem after listening to the Beck song. I just love his Bozo Nightmare line in the song! Thanks again for your very kind comment...:)
Sooooo clever or was it an excuse for being unable to come up with a sensical rhyme over nonsense? Heh, heh. Actually that was probably more difficult. This was so much fun.
Yes, a little more trouble to write, because as I went on jotting stuff down, I realized I could use contradiction, etc. in each four lines. But, in the end, it just was supposed to not have any connection to anything. And, you are very witty in your comment. Thanks!
Brilliantly funny poem!
I am glad you enjoyed! Thanks!
so fun to read, brings a smile to my face! -- phoenix
I am so glad. That is great! Thanks.
