Too Late For the 7-7-4 Thing, But Thought I'D Throw It Out There Anyway

Rhyming is not hard for me. Neither is light poetry. Lucky that way. OK, the stanza count's three. Rhyme scheme is A A then B. Lots more to say. Where is this going? We'll see. Dr. Suess seems to guide me along the way. Once upon a time's cliché, memories of yesterday. Then it got hard. Do I want a fish filet? Why can't I just run away from my backyard? Society has its sway like seven syllables, eh? Sometimes it's hard. Yeah, so back to my backyard: vinyards, retards, and en-guards go with the flow. Charcoal leaves nasty black chards even grandma sometimes farts those in the know get it that … yep, can be hard. Or soft, whatever. My cards go for gusto.

Very witty and remarkably clever. I like your twisted sense of humor and the confidence you have to let it go on the page. I am inspired to delve into a little poetic craziness when I read work like this...love it

Kash and Carrie (no pun intended) liked this, and so do I. I see Nette liked it too for the same reasons.
