Sassy Sonnet

peppy porcelain puppy poops on the floor
  wacky winged walrus whizzes on the door
enigmatic eonian elephant espies some bamboo
  clever castrated cormorant shrieks yahoo

brassiere-busting bonobo barfs on the table
  maniacal mystic monkey freaks on cable
sly sonambulent sloth bear slumbers in his cave
  natty naughty nutty newt nests in a wave

dizzy ditzy doormouse dances with a broomstick
  tawdry turgid tiger toys with his joystick
rugged recondite raccoon races up rut-marred roads
  finicky febrile frog farts on frightened toads

this sonnet celebrates sassiness midst sundry incantations
  ~ surrenders to insanity and scoffs at punctuation

Sara Kendrick Date: 1/20/2019 5:46:00 AM A agree with the last two lines. Very creative in a freaky kind of way. Got a chuckle. Thanks for the visit to my page. Some of it reminds me of the goings on by my two Chihuahuas. Sara Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 1/20/2019 8:35:00 AM Yeah, I guess this one is/was a little freaky...Thanks for the feedback, Sara! Best wishes, Gershon

I can barely imagine how much fun you had putting this one together; fun fun fun! Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 1/17/2019 10:33:00 PM You bet your life I had a good time putting it together. Sounds like you had a good time reading it too---which was the whole point of writing it, of course. Thanks for the feedback and the encouragement, my friend. Best wishes, Gershon
