Somewhat Suspicious

Somewhat Suspicious He sure seemed to be somewhat suspicious; Then thought that things were surreptitious And often had started out being stupendous Thinking about people who were pretentious. Or maybe make shiftily soon start to mention Preposterous people can be at a convention And some have said that the beauty of it all Is how and why everyone I seem to appall. And if hills and mountains came alive again While we were going through thick and thin When what you needed was God's consent You started to repent and ran for President. So all the possible people started to scatter When they saw how I mixed up my batter And no one ever ended up out of any line My biscuits were about to rise and shine. As soon as all of the gravy had been added And my billfold with money now was padded Found myself remotely among maybe a few Poets seeking attention who up it just drew. All of the poets patience was all worn out Read disappointing poems without a doubt Unusual behavior they did start to display Disastrous poems were found in disarray.
