Hiding In the Deepest Shadows

Adjectives hid in the deepest shadows behind smelly sticky stinky garbage dumpsters rats squatted on them Adverbs tore verbs into tiny manageable bites and nested on them, after they were gooey, snarly and moldy. Nouns appeared stuck up prissy. Refused to join adjectives Thought they were better than that. Adverbs and adjectives conspired against the nouns. Sequestering themselves in the recesses of the alley walls. Nothing working today, each against any type of unity. Muse made fun of my Pollyanna ways, so gave up the poetry idea and took a little nap.
