Emoticon Yellows

Emoticon Yellows If I were rich, which is a crime I could do anything I wished Claim my rights and entitlements as “affluenza” But I’m an ordinary cyberpunk A regular yellow kind of guy An emoticon with an attitude Manscaping, sliding through life with a close shave Cantankerous and bodacious all the time In chillax style, riding the daily yellow bus Dragging my portmanteaus box inside And my delishful gal with me there Clad in fashionable plarn Irregardless of everything else We rise above the sights and flee Above the ancient vomitocious towns And meld into each other’s grue calm eyes Canoodling all the while Smog passes with the night Snark comments distract us An anacronym word or two slips out But we don’t care We’re off to spend the affluenza check Just to prove we can (PORTMANTEAUS words: “PORTMANTEAUS Box” all contest entry listed words + "canoodling" - hugs and kisses and "cantankerous- old and feisty ) 8/19/14 Portmanteaus Poetry Contest

Hi Carrie, Thank you so much. I heard a rumor that too much canoodling leads to babies or a rash or something like that.... Congratulations to you too for a spectacular win. Have a pleasant evening. Take care. Earl

Hi Sara. I am appreciative of your support. It was a strange undertaking. I did not employ just a few of the words suggested for this project. I incorporated all of them plus a few of my own odd words to complete it. Thanks again. Have a great day. Take care. Earl
