A Poetic Pinnacle – Release 2 By Franklin Price12/10/2016 A poetic pinnacle I'm trying to attain The thought of it is daunting as it's running through my brain There is no heavy lifting, where I would need a crane I meet it with some humor and never with disdain I hope I am successful that it will entertain Familiarity with many words I will attempt to feign I try it mainly for myself, want nothing else to gain Want new underwear for Christmas, I hope that they are Hanes Further alphabet progression in this poem I will ingrain More difficult than first grade and reading Dick and Jane Or remembering the Senator, Virginia's Timmy Kaine All the letters so far were left where they were lain I must leave them lying there my progress to maintain My wisdom tooth is hurting I need some novocaine The dentist is a friend of mine, he will help me to obtain A shot placed in the gum below will take away the pain Now back to the monorhyme that's not a short quatrain Of the letters in the alphabet, only eight remain Hope that I can make it while still remaining sane If you see me spouting gibberish put me on the crazy train That travels to a plane that will fly me to Ukraine Before I arrive I'll comb my hair I'm just a little vain The excitement now of writing this, beginning now to wane The first shot now is wearing off, I'll now use xylocaine For “Y” I'll make a German word just to “yankyourchain” This attempt has made me hungry, I think I'll eat some Zatarain Finally finished all the alphabet, though “Y”'s a little bane Had help from several writing friends who planted words of grain PANTYGYNT, HUMPWHISTLE and the first who was SANEJANE Without them, Pinnacle 2 is not, or at least be quite inane.
