Gershon Wolf Poet Monorhyme

Visions Absurd of Grandiosity

Overcome by a wave of curiosity
   I decided to try out seriosity
For which I'd no particular precocity
   'Twas an ill-fated breeze of impetuosity

With visions absurd of grandiosity
   I'd portray Julius Caesar with proper pomposity
Though, to be sure, my toga's fit was an atrocity
   Not to mention my Latin dialogue's tortuosity

Yet utterly convinced of my latent geniosity
   I spoke my lines with preternatural verbosity
Hark! Were those boos of unaccustomed ferocity?
   ~ To the nearest Exit, tomato-smeared, at hypervelocity...
