A Cornucopia of Symposia

A cornucopia of symposia hoping to make the future rosier banging a gavel to unravel multiple knots of itinerant thoughts billing and queueing a crisis slow brewing the same old charade a grand masquerade where everyone graces the room with two faces theater heads one alive and one dead solving the problem of how fast can we rob’em scatter the cash in an off shore locked cache hoorah for symposia, no doubts all supposia a game of three shells all whistles and bells just keep moving the pea so no one can see we’ll never be rid of this schemed pyramid John G.

Superb write, John ... I have no idea how to go at this one, but you have created a gem here out of a rather surreal concept. Ambiguity and layers that I just adore, and phrasing and irregular rhythm that flows like a babbling brook - excellent - you never disappoint! Blessings! :-)

thanks again Gregory, I was just having some fun with the contest theme before I read the directions and saw that this did not fit the required form.
