Somewhat Suspicious
Somewhat Suspicious
He sure seemed to be somewhat suspicious;
Then thought that things were surreptitious
And often had started out being stupendous
Thinking about people who were pretentious.
Or maybe make shiftily soon start to mention
Preposterous people can be at a convention
And some have said that the beauty of it all
Is how and why everyone I seem to appall.
And if hills and mountains came alive again
While we were going through thick and thin
When what you needed was God's consent
You started to repent and ran for President.
So all the possible people started to scatter
When they saw how I mixed up my batter
And no one ever ended up out of any line
My biscuits were about to rise and shine.
As soon as all of the gravy had been added
And my billfold with money now was padded
Found myself remotely among maybe a few
Poets seeking attention who up it just drew.
All of the poets patience was all worn out
Read disappointing poems without a doubt
Unusual behavior they did start to display
Disastrous poems were found in disarray.
