Offer data that no one else wants
in some terribly difficult fonts...
well, you may as well stop
and go visit the shoppe
for some ice cream and chocolate croissants.

Chocolate ice cream makes red ants cross,
madder still if it contains some sauce
for it masks the trail's scent
where they came from or went
and dries on their legs in a brown gloss.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

If it dries on your legs like brown glue
Pepto-Bismol might firm up your poo
so it won't just run down
there inside your nightgown...
or tonight you could have a fondue.

When hearing about set for fondue
my wife said "Oh yes, that will do
as a present for me"
quite sarcastically
but Christmas found herself in cheese poo

If your Christmas finds you deep in cheese
but your guests mostly are amputees
you can dump the fondue
in your yard. Now don't stew;
you can carol this year on your knees.

If you carol on knees in some yard
I'd suggest you take blankets to ward
off occasional stains
and the stench which remains
from dog poo. You'll need more than right guard.

If your right guard has stepped in dog poo,
then their left guard will step in it too
once the play has begun.
Have your quarterback gun
a pass for a dance pas-de-deux.

if you carol, spelled 'crawl', in a yard
you'll be seen as some kind of a card
playing disabled football
while dressed in a shawl
see - life is so terribly hard

Lawyers' lives may grow terribly hard
if they practice when they've been disbarred;
soon the bars they're behind
where they'll be assigned
will surround them as charges bombard.

we'll surround them as workload gets hard
with cops and warders down in the yard
they're armed to the teeth
and all limbs beneath
ain't no one gonna mark their damn card

If you play with marked cards in that yard
you will find that it's more than just hard
to survive and get out
alive; without doubt
you will never post here as a bard!

you will never post here with a beard
because Lori and all the crew cheered
when it was shaved off
to fall in the trough
and Alan looked decidedly weird !

If you think that I'm shaving my beard
just to post here, then I am a-feared
that you must come here
to do it, or leer
at me... and you'll see I ain't veered.

base wood has been so badly veneered
that the result is just as I feared
the 'quality' top
gets it out the shop
then blisters as it's frequently beered

If your blisters are bared on the wood
wearing clothing would likely be good
to prevent them from leaking
unless you are seeking
a reason to throw up your food.

If you're throwing food up in the air
like the dough for a pizza you'll share
then I beg and implore
that you look up before
to make sure that there's not a fan there.

Just make sure there's not a fan up there
otherwise you will turn brown the air
when faeces hits fan
there's no time to run
all will be more dark than blond or fair

At the fair if you met a dark blonde
then peroxide is how she had conned
you to look at her face
and thus make you chase
her all through the grounds and beyond.

Through the grounds and beyond you gave chase
and when caught, took her up to your place.
She had dyed for the show
but the hair down below
was dark brown with a slight auburn trace.

Light brown with a soft auburn tinge
is a sugar that causes a binge;
seems you can't get enough,
and they say it is rough
to go on so you will not unhinge.
