Kerfuffle

Listen to poem:
The kerfuffle began when the K&K's concocted a plan to be special beyond breakfast. To be silent, written, but never heard was simply absurd. Penned in by N's K's lovely voice was kybosched knifed, knuckle-dusted knocked, kneed when kneeling prone. Denied any free expression speech from the grassy knoll. Why must this be so? K's are sick and tired of being bullied by N's! To forever have to remain silent whenever followed by an 'N' at the start of the word. It's not right for knight, knot, knowledge and knob to know they must have a hidden silent bed-fellow at the bedhead, The boss neutered to mere nothingness and meaningless no-less. It's not right to be demanded in Scrabble and rambling scribbles, dabble and scrawls, but muted silent in the babble of spoken recalls of verse spoken aloud or recited in the reader's head. Let there be a voice for Special K's. That's what we say!

Ok thanks, I still don't understand why you are so against 'the Voice', particularly when it is hidden when you judge a poem. But that's your choice! Let it be! Thanks for sponsoring the contests. I love the challenge!
