Our Peg

Absolute is her adorable attitude,
blessed and bestowed with a burning benignity,
city girl caught within life’s calamitousness,
darling to all that dare dote upon her. Naked!

Economize, be efficient, enthuse she must,
Fight! For her felicity. Feel! For those whom fall,
groping gouging with a grotesque gravitation,
hold on to her hospitable habitation!

Indurate through incest! Injured through inurement,
justice she seeks, a juvenile Judy no more,
kicked by society, knackered by its keepers,
laminated personalities lost in love!

Morning time! Brings the sunlight, the mist the misery,
Nymph nurtured by noble, just to serve motley men,
Org*sm Cried off, just an opaque memory,
primate  pants, within the woodland glen!

Quaint in monthly quarantine, desire still to quell,
rebellious rivals, rustic, but youth on side,
sanctimonious salutations satisfy,
the test for technique, tediously still apply!

Unable to command usage. “Utensil spent”
Valuation decreasing via vulgar gent,
wise mind, weary body responds to the wanker,
xquisite flame soon xtinguish by the banker!

Yet she that lived in yonder past, youthfulness yielded,
zero hour approaches. “Erotic zone no more!”

because of censorships some words had to be removed or changed.

I didn't realize this was an ABC poem until reading the comments. Outstanding and painful write. For me truly one of the best entries in the contest! 7 Rating.

Can't believe what I am seeing Harry, the alphabet, then the story, a horrendous one to be sure and the amazing words; all weave a sad but fascinating story. This takes some time to absorb but so well done!

What a poor creature she was, harry. I saw after a while what you were doing. you went from A to Z with each line. That was quite ambitious!!
