"Headline news! The rag trade is torn to pieces!
Dolls are strewn across the streets with skirts lifted high.
Headline news! Markets are buzzing with voracious bees;
Stinging for honey, for money to burn. Sly.

May I escort you...

Halloween is here!
But have no fear! 
This is my guide so you survive.

it was full of sweet flowers for market

Don Key the Donkey
Was a silly ass
He had big donkey ears
And wore an eyeglass
Looking very dapper

There’s a Nobel Prize for Peace
There’s probably one for war
I’d like to plead the case 
For adding just one more

Feeling the need of a quick snack
Between some few...

Perhaps I'll find him
in realities cloak
steadfast with fiery dim
frozen woodland oak
capture my heart

This is a book of nonsense, indeed,
Titled, "The Amicable Divorce,"
I did snicker and chortle, of course,
Who wrote this? Some toff,
I sit and read and scoff,
I wrote companion lit.,
