Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Light Verse

Superfluous Activity

Dripping words so sugary,
light and fluffy insincerity
Laying it on drizzling thick
with a butter knife tongue
Caramel verbal plums ... yum-yum
You got red cherry cheeks,
dispensing vanilla frosting tasty speech
Blowing out mint bubblicious charm
when you start cinnamon chewing your gums
Sweet Alabama apple pie breath,
full of caloric ingratiating death
Syrupy vowels not good for my financial health
Always got something 
Cheshire cheesecake slick up your consonant sleeve,
a box of squiggly ... messy, gummy worm candy
A plate piled up high with excessive flattery,
so obvious,
anybody with Ray Charles eyes they can see
A bunch of chocolate covered marshmallow baloney,
suspicious cooking superfluous activity
All designed to thoroughly impress me,
and infiltrate my personal treasury
But I ain’t falling for the fake pastry bake,
zero doughnuts is what your pockets ate
All yours plans fell flat   ...   smack dab 
in the middle of an upside down devil cake
