Nonsense

Problems in the mirror may be further than they appear Don’t fear when they’re near, they’ll soon disappear help is here, let me give your mind a steer I’ma just keep writin’ until it all appears clear coming to you live from the heart, no veneer here closing in on 10,000 hours quick, nothing will interfere I’ll turn these words to a career, this is only the first tier found what I love, don’t care about 0’s at the cashier You're wasting your time if you wouldn’t do it as a volunteer Please don’t call me a poet, call me a word engineer Haha, I can joke too, not all my poems are severe jeers Stop while you’re ahead though, bout to shift into next gear Pay attention, learn more in a poem than an academic year Spare the sneer, wont quit til I sear all that you adhere Persevere, attackin’ ya from the front both sides and the rear Steer clear, don’t need no one’s cheer, you cohere? Probably bust a drum if I spoke this, cauliflower ear You don’t have to like me, but I bet you will revere Change my name to Paul, inform you bout the brigadiers See what I did there? Re-read those past 2 if it’s unclear My minds my weapon, unlimited ammo, bandolier Fully automatic, spraying bullets at everything insincere Blowing up everything you thought you knew, bombardier You got tunnel vision, widen your view, belvedere This flow is delicate, elegant, like a chandelier This flow leave ya weak in the legs like a baby deer This flow has many sides and it’s well rounded like a sphere A pioneer on the frontier, might stop and shed 1 tear They say a writer never dies, guess this is a souvenir Catch me down under drinkin' a Bundaberg ginger beer This poems a joke, obscene, call me Edward Lear
