Portmanteau
He exited the train carrying a luxurious
portmanteau
Walking with a BODACIOUS strut
exuding an air
which swept away the SMOG
Just CHILLAXING 'pon the bench
she watched ___
He approached the ticket master
letting SNARK sayings flow from his narcissitic persona
A lovely lady dressed to the hilt
sashayed
Across the cobbled train yard
Displaying an air of refined richness
Which adorned her every move
Rich in wordly goods and in social grace
He only had the appearance of riches
Not a cent to his name
Definitely lacking in social graces, arrogance was his game
But could he do magic
And TOMFOOLERY everyone
Across the cobbled train yard with his eyes on the prize
He fell ASPRAWLING entangled in a slight crack in the neat cobblestones
Prostrate upon the cobblestone with verbage of a sailor flowing from his lips
The cheap imitation leather ripped from his
portmanteau
Here lies a man humbled by a fall
Finis'
