Grouse Bagpipes

Grampie Zach got bone saw breath, he cut tight lips no slack "All dung buggy complaints," his wrinkled hand pointedly sez, “Take it to the sphincter hole out back!” That’s the true-true Atillicus Z blow an elephantine pair of grouse bagpipes Buckaroos putting on airs don’t like the breeze They pig methane consume-y say: “The Owe casino grin; Ruskie rue wheel, big rig spin, it only cow chip payout Soylent Green gripes” Old Doc Z got an O.R. vapor technique — In a non- anesthesia tone, Grampie surgically delivers cutting-edge critique, as his laser beam eyes focus narrowly on the derisive object of his oral dissection “It’s dog-eat-dog days, son-of-a-gun canniballistic ways Splattered morsels of morals on the dinny tray, toilet-washed dishes served skull platter nasty” That’s the true-true Aged Z unleash a secret buzz flux of electric flow exhalation Pure spittle damnation! Waving a leathery finger like a wand, with Atlas energy, towards the boo cloud above Casting wizened, whited wisdom, he sez, “Dark meat only beg get yellow teeth love, ‘cuz plaque-y smiles be belly-aching needful And bleating heart pleas will yea, surly receive ivory cuspid merciful” That’s the true-true The character referenced in the first stanza of this poem is from a movie. Any PSouper who can guess the movie, I will read a poem of their choosing. Then I will write a poem in tribute of said poem. — Romantic Warrior
