Smore Sprawling Poppycock

S'more sprawling poppycock Chock·a·block discombobulated poem for your reading pleasure dashed off ad hoc my final literary endeavor before hour hand affixed to intricately carved cuckoo clock displaying carved leaves, birds, deer heads (Jagdstück design), other animals, aquatic militia man, etc feigns firing flintlock (announcing onset of daylight savings times) said French soldier christened Jacque dipping paddles of oarlock into time stream as the sun beats down, he doth shockingly unfrock. Once again modest wily word wizard sports, struts his stuff inarguably a blinding blizzard of poetic gumbo mumbo jumbo, his convoluted crafted vizard easily misinterpreted as offal lee batty, quirky, snooty, trippy... who honestly doesn't know A from izzard. The ticking seconds will not wait while yours feebly cobbles etches across blank figurative slate lame resultant impasse I narrate experiencing disappointment earlier spurt of balderdash, gibberish, rubbish... which I hate yet must suffice impossible mission to complete satisfactory poem does agitate. Vainglorious idea to employ daylight savings time even a mediocre reasonable rhyme futile effort finds current strife prime juncture to breakaway and resume later nighttime or call writing aspiration quits crowded house that for being sublime? Unlikely literary pursuit or aim will find yours truly a best seller never experiencing accolades nor remuneration to claim truth be told, cuz I haint seeking neither fortune nor fame. The principle impetus explaining zeal to discipline generic human to hone his ability, where basic blocks of English language (words) linkedin incorporating mental cogs and gears mesh making (mishmash) as figurative wheel in the sky keeps on turning perhaps divine intervention intercedes as yours truly takes lock, stock, and barrel of himself, one bumbling, grumbling, tumbling schlemiel cue hapless characteristic vagrant tramp as viewed courtesy black and white newsreel enroute to meet cobbler, cuz worn out heel actually kind individual stopped to offer hobo an uber lyft courtesy fancy automobile.
