I challenge you to a rhetorical to prove me wrong else be unconventional ‘bout a problem that’s gone systematical everyone’s so radical and cynical once burnt all swear to now be rational petrified to be poetical and get physical relationships always problematical they start off superficial hardly practical usually nonsensical and contradictional end up analytical emotional or psychological enigmatical fanatical or plain lethargical sometimes as wild as satanical yet sure enough it’s almost typical it’s really absurdly comical the inevitable becomes the eventual you go and fall and it’s unconditional starts off all angelical and sensational turns out illogical and territorial often becomes tyrannical immoral and unethical then cryptical and diabolical there has to be something remedial it’s just too tragical how we now prefer to be online virtual we might as well be asexual because there’s no sense being sensual we’re all too freak’n skeptical to believe in the magical and supernatural do you have a comeback what’s in your arsenal or are you just too visceral or too darn busy being metaphysical AP: 2nd place 2020, Honorable Mention 2022 Submitted ton March 5, 2018 for contest QUICK FIRE RAPID RHYME sponsored by BRENDA CHIRI - RANKED 4TH
