STRAINED ALLOQUY(quite funny )

Folder: 
JOURNAL #21

boredom

preaches

her precious solitude

even as I

try my absolute damnedest

not to listen

the great Equalizer

that which mother nature's

simpleton's call

work

elbows its overly

repetitious way

in

to harness me

with a quick decision

why, I would be tossed

under the nearest sign of

FOOL!

to allow such 'Strained Alloquy'

(HUH!!!)

to continue

so do be swift

and gag me quite soundly

before

I attempt to spout off any more

of this ass-deep-drivel!

uneducatably aghast

I do believe

Walt Whitman

himself

just gaspingly vapored

into

my soul's

latest faltering personage

now

just imagine

what a horrendous

pile up that was

please now

I do most humbly

beg of thee

forgive me greatly.............

was struggling with a poem that was coming to me and I believe it shows.
