Ballad of tom and foolery

Sometimes the society will  let say or make it's 
    trespassings and roads and clings to them like lovers 
   sometimes clinging to bed and like tom on one side 
  and foolery on the other. 
  Such may be the nature of the world elsewhere 
 what is wrong to add and subtract let say something 
   there in. 
 Ah!  sometimes behold a beautiful scenario blossoming?.

      The lying poets have you sucked in!
      As many already have pseudonyms~
      Perhaps, they imbibe too much gin?

      And, oh, you so sweet innocents…
      Sucked in by a false poet’s face!
      Liars,who are poetic disgrace.are a disgrace.

      Whom can I trust when liars abound?
      Many scoundrels could easily be found.
      Loving to bow to only clapping sounds!
   
      They try to impress us, one and all.
      But by their fancy forms, do not fall.
      Poets, beware these imposters call!!

autumnal flames,
shouldn’t Summer heat warn us -
leaves with crimson glow?

I feel quiet.. Then perhaps its a reflection of
The quietude I sense among the greater majority of people, there are fitful bursts of conversation
Overheard at times on the faux Brexit so resented.!
The hubris of ensconced poiticans has died down
In the aftermath of the local elections..
There is a smouldering of talk and thought that
Rumbles on in the sidestreets and shopping centers; there are many who having seen the the mockery of democracy 'laid bare' changing from
Remain to a leave identity, and to my great surprise advocating a 'no deal is the best outcome'
So back I go to the bubble and squeak I am
Making at least the content are fresh
And the hash is edible.'

Where did the term 'tom foolery' originate 
My guess, Tom was always in a fool around state
Been accused myself
It's good for one's health
Getting through each day with chuckles on your plate

Foolery 101

It is better to not answer to a fool
They may hear you but do not understand you
Some judge and do not know they are judging themselves
Bible based religion with no revelation to compare
Answer to the Most High and His divine will 
Open doors of impossibilities eyes will thrill
Wonder in fact how did you arrive in this place
Fools trip over fools
and fools still make mistakes


Foolery

I've lived and I've Learned
Past the sight, Past the words
Into my mind, You do not deserve
With your actions, Silently heard 
Mumbling under your breathe
What you want, You'll take considering no consequence
In your selfish ways, You play a game of quandary
Much like a magician, Your hat being an fallacy
As laughter and Foolery enter n exist
You take a bow, As you performed well and you meant it 
No round of applause during your next go 
As your mediocre talent, Does not belong on this Broadway show
Return to the circus, Your nothing but a clown
Watch as my smile turns yours into a frown
Thrown Tomatoes on the ground!!!!

Foolery

The wind blows
as the leafs tremble
and the ocean shivers

Televisions are watched
as games are played
and the phone is ringing

The children go to school
as parents work
and criminals do their dirt

The fridge chills
as the freezer freezes
and the toaster pops

The singer harmonizes
as the people dance
and the beat bounces

The monitor freezes
as the computer crashes

and you listen to this as it makes no sense !
