Mark Martin Poet Verse

Name My Sayings - What's In a Name

A list of names this contest needs
But what to pick to serve this deed?
I'll use the census - names top ten
And express my wisdom - pseudo zen

Surprised by sudden traffic jam
Essential for your brakes to slam

Shake up nitro just a taj
Oh no earned my Darwin badge

When let down by dear heartthrob
'erts a lot, so have a sob

Reported UFO not cosmic
Ha! Elastic frisbee con trick

Punctuation, spelling, grammar
Your language wood and nails and hammer

I know what's best - I break your will
I am your boss - now take your pill

Beware of other's dark agenda
Video the truth offender

Here's a scheme to make you rich
'ard resist my conman's pitch

When drinking up a mug of char
Less is more and near is far

A flute, two drums and three banjos
Ephemeral - pluck, bang and blow

My names are split, word sin definitive
Yet just as sound as split infinitive
My English slang and lingua pidgin
Yet sage enough for fake religion!
