Notes About The Poem

Unbeknownst To Rhymezone

Making it known in the twilight zone, 
an unknown, error-prone player reached a milestone 
using  follicle stimulating hormone 
to produce a phytohormone clone of Alicia Silvestone 
honed from a fully grown breastbone and stray histones.
Above the wind blown ozone-  a moss-grown millstone
 the well known capstone of a milestone not foreknown.

Better known was Paula Poundstone 
for taking growth hormone when fully grown 
who could hold her own against the overblown overtone-
of reggaeton,
to win a starring role in Philosopher’s Stone, 

You may think this poem is overblown 
An alphabet kaliedophone.
A mining of words that are super unknown
And bemoan its pretentious overtone.
A poem that’s nothing but shadow and stone
Contrived to tickle your funny bone.

The 'tone' amusingly heralds an entourage of Mairzy-doats, Suzanne, a delightful entertainment for the ears to untickle and fancy the mind to a decent chuckle whereto I extend my courtesies, Aloha William

brings back memories of the calliope bellowing diphthongs across the surds racing headlong into the Glens and waving the Scots skirts into another bellicose frenzy.....very clever inspiring the Jabberwocky in me....take a bow

Ha ha Timray: Seems like nonsense poems are all I write lately. I guess my muse hated uprooting and relocating for the winter. My hope is- she re adjusts soon LOL
