Two More Minutes With Peanut
minute poem
Stretching, I might be four-foot-six
I've learned to fix
the wixumph jokes
of thoughtless blokes.
Some people are antriphinal -
not short on bull
"Peanut," they yell
"Who cracked your shell?
Perspecitus, 'tis a good word
When thoughts get blurred,
I watch them squirm
at each word worm.
When perspecitus meets wixumph,
I can triumph,
remaining bold -
mood quite controlled.
Vurshotimy! I call the shots,
connect the dots.
When chaps condemn,
toss words to them.
Two minutes with Peanut, no dice.
A little spice
'tworks well enough
to call their bluff.

I played with silly, nonsense words, hinting at a meaning in the context. I also used a playful form called the minute poem. A minute is 3 stanzas of 20 syllables each equaling 60 syllables (like 60 seconds to a minute).
Syllable pattern: 8, 4, 4, 4: Rhyming patter: a, a, b, b. Enjoy these two minutes.
