Eye hit the jakpot the other dey
When I mat a donky name of kay
We got long grate bye and bye
That donky was a terific gi
Laffed my ars off over and ovr
Roled down the hell, landded in dovr
Some werdo piked me up and dsted me off
Donky ran away, scarred of this gi’s coff
The coffing fuuul turned me this wey and that
My scarff fell off, so did my farmmer’s hat
Donky ran back with his frend the bare
Bare bit werdo’s but and we ran from thare
i’ve been s-coffing quite a lot lately ~ i think perhaps i’ve got a s-cold
said menippean to the rhymester ~ s-pitting out helios as he s-trolled
—————————————
a fair straightforward non rotating ~ syllable counted monoku
#. #. #
even the maggots are important ~ grow wings and persevere with life
