Parly to con-verse, lia to mislead or inform
Mindfully as in (ment) 
Parli is part of a word that explains, with
lia in the middle who so often complains
Ment to misdirect one.. Or billions? its moot?

To distort our mentality..What can it all be about?
Parl lia ment if you've noticed says it all in its name!

Enter Prize Zine Wit 24 Tidy Lines

of mice an men aye n'er doth quit
dialing countless times google 
   fascinating to this human caboodle ling kit upon porcelain goddess, 
most brilliant ideas congeal in me mind, and thou' loo pee did lit
this sole seasoned bugs bunny car tune character son of kit
soon after traipses superhighway road viz imagination 
   fired with fleeting thoughts that hit
sweet soft spot futilely attempt to net ideas in me mind flit
   i yam a poet favoring words that rhyme a bit!
iambic pentameter strands crochet themselves magically con verse
interleaving like boughs of - arbor shielding this solitary soul
   wherein shafts of sunlight dapple cerebral canopy 
   affecting dark shadows at the edge of night to disperse
   from outer limits of the twilight zone
ebbing and flowing in tandem & nsync 
with circadian metronome this trolling
   troubadour lost in space transformed 
   into edenic serenade from Mother Nature 
   while unseen terrestrial oeuvre 
   reassures don’t fear the reaper’s scythe silent curse.
