Not So Friendly Discussions
Alfredo always abhorred angry approaches
After an amigo accosted after an argument
And, afterward, Alfredo abstained arguing,
Because blackening bruises betrayed blather
Berniccio blindly behaved better, bravely
Becoming brotherly before blasting bullies!
Carefully commandeering calmer Carlos,
Claiming cool comradeship courageously
Communicated clever candid conversations.
Dandified Darius decided daring dialogue
Dangerously divisive, declined discourse,
Deliberately discrediting dainty discussions.
Even egregious Ethan engaged everyone else
Entertaining either eloquently or engagingly,
Entirely encountering emerging elocutions.
Flawlessly fomenting, forgetful Fernando
Freely fractured forensics for favored friends
Forever fellowshipping five fine fraternities.
Gaudy Giuseppe gained ground grinning
Grotesquely giving grand gestures gotten
Grander, gayer, grown grossly grandiose.
Heard Hector handily hankered his hummer
Helping handicapped Herbert’s husbandry
Hoping high-priced handyman helped.
Imogene ignored Ignatius’s incessant inquiries
Into inimitable imaginings, instead insulting
Isaac’s Informed, instructional information.
Jose justifies juggling jolly jokes jauntily
Joining Joe's joyful jangling jingles
Jest's justifies Jake's jungle jargon.
Kiefer, kindly kibbutzing, keeps knocking
Klutzy Karl’s keen keepsake kaleidoscope
Knick-knack knowing kosher knockwurst.
Louis lacked longer lasting language luminosity
Lately listing long, lame linguistic lamentations
Looking ludicrous, leveraging lingual lip-synching.
Merlin may malign my magnificent material
Making miscommunication matters miserable
Misconstruing Martin’s merry-making maddeningly.
Naomi neither notates numbers nor notations
Neglecting Nyla’s noticeable noncombative nature
Normally nice newlywed neighbors nearby.
Open opposition, or opposing oppositional oral
Observations, occasionally obliterates Opal’s
Opining obtusely over off-broadway offerings.
Percy proposed propositions pretending patience
Partially permissible, perhaps, per Pearl's proposal
Pardoning political programs profiting poorly.
Quiet quotations, quarrelsome quisling, quite
Questioning querulous qu**r quadriplegics quickly
Quantifies quality, questionable quarterlies.
Robust raconteur Roberto regularly reconsiders
Resounding recollections reverberating Rudi’s
Relinquishing roundtable rightly ricocheting.
Sylvia stays sedentary still seeking superiority
Sometimes summarizing situations so subtly
She slips silent, suddenly somnambulistic.
(a continuing effort)
