Ridiculously Sensible

I was not impressed by his super mediocre talent

     The kind one should keep under wraps exposed

          To a world of less well known and near do well designers 

               Who struggle easily with mundane exotic tasks which, when left

                    In the hands of expert amateurs would not seem so

                          Ridiculously sensible at a time such as now

                                                            ~*~

I always thought OXY MORONS were politicians carrying a bottle of bleach.

Not only does your poem have all the necessary ingredients for great oxymorons, but it also makes a point. Great job with this contest entry, dear friend. Hope to see your poem in the winners' circle. Love, Carolyn
