Best Bourgeois Poems

With a mag called POETRY, I spent time
Hoping to find verses sublime and sage
And for all I read, not two words that rhymed
Just chopped up prose splayed all over the page.

This left me just a little bit perplexed
So I decided to investigate
What I did find...

abstract endings pacified 

  pedestrian beginnings, 

save yourself before

             you're slap-happy,

 choking on interloping bourgeois 

       mind-control subterfuge

it ain’t materialistically funny
You’re so smug, lady LaDeda —

My dear Miss Peach how lovely!
Your table boasts so fair
You've chosen the finest bubbly
Best porcelain plates and crystal ware

Your handpicked guests are perfect
They know just what to say
They are prefects without defects
With no real opinions per se

Your parties are full of boasting
With braggarts, blowhards and...

A moral question, 
How do you know hunger? 

Some people don't know  about 
these terrible  words in their lives: 
A) Hunger,
B) Sorrow,
C) Problems,
D) Tears,
E)  Pain,

If you meet with a  person who 
Did not experience one of those words 
In his " her" life, 
Don't bowl...
