Have any of youse guys really noticed lately
Females are showing more parts quite shapely
Not really complaining
But I do find it draining
Popping my cork, I admit barefacedly...

Values.
The glue of society.
Morals.
The stitches of community.

These are the things
that hold a world together
But in the age of greed and corruption
The stitches 
Made of goodness

A pufferfish is soft, roundish-sluggish.
Some even say slightly clownish.
Seemingly an easy target...
But when provoked it puffs up and flashes a set of sharp spines.
If engulfed, it'll stick in the throat of its bullhorn aggressor.

Part one narrating snapping crackling, and popping trembling underfoot...,
which ushered poetic reverberations across the universe

A snippet of careering and careening
nocturnal cerebral manifestations
attributed to strong medicament
creating soundless clangorous din
ofttimes diabolical dreams
severely disrupt mine ability
to function throughout rest of day.

An adverse reaction 
to one or more prescription...

The bride and groom, about to pop the cork
But the label read -- Pig Juice, Pure Lean Pork

***  RATE THE BATTLE  ***

Rate your pain, they always want to know,
On a scale of one (least) to ten (worst — “like hell,” they say),

Rooted under...
