One slouch theory is that 
thirty thorny 
tin entities perhaps 
from Triton (or 
from Troy?) have 
taken over 
other tiny tory nits named Tony and o-

hound rarely says 
that it will 
settle for simply non-fat
          plain yoghurt

drogen Plasma will leave its den to 
invent the End that's long been in store 
for      us

nine red-violet 
idols intervened to 
deliver an enliveningly 
violent diversion for 
our toney tender loins

#2
no fewer than 
four woeful felon were-
wolf loungers re-
newed growling aboard their 
newly tainted yellow-green and 
grunge-splattered gurneys 

#3
for blue-mean burgeoning 
golf states the 
best way to retool blonder 
hair shaft maintenance is 
through nebulous 
globalization combined with 
the further whirled onset of 
bald faced lies

loss from a yawn #732

when the seven-ten 

row's worth a throw of the 
rice then the spice may be 

loaded with sauce from some 

bones rolling slowly up-
hill to a pinhead too 

nice not to topple

ready to smell

Any-

tory         contains exact-
ly seven hundred and         thirty one ax-
felonious monkeys         waving hatchet faced playing cards around

they had         a good 
vocational         training 
spool of massive yarn bards         stacked with fun brain 
splatter at their wastefully 

         toxic      
       disposal.

Steven West's envoy #70 was a 
                            teensy wee stew 
                   eater who'd 
           vowed never to 
          wow anyone not 
                   applying a 
                     glands-on ap-

           any other 
                    dazed whirled 
                                musings on

Balderdash

"balderdash"


there once was a man named Lear
it can be said it can't be quite clear

if none of the nonsense he wrote
would in a pea-green boat float

but he wasn't King or Norman
that's q*eer
