just jabbering gibberish (A - J)

Again, another awkward ambitious
arduous attempt at alphabetically

I like the smell of leaded petrol,
pure, unadulterated,
the destructive euphoria of which intoxicates me
innocently unaware that it has forsaken me;

Ten years ago, there was a cock
Who lived up to his name.
For though he left us all well-fed,

Replaced was he by one who was
A very silly goose.

In a free, safe, and worthy world of utopia, my life flew off,
With companions gobbling cloverleaves and...
