Masquerading Poems


Billionaires hunker down in their Queenstown bunker lairs

Let’s pester Uncle Fester

After dafter Luxon 

Pushed the button

Welcomed every glutton

To the isles of mutton


Theme of the meme

Team New Zealand 

It does seem

No longer a

Stronger eclectic sceptic


Spanked by the rank 

Septic tank stream

Peptic Pyramid scheme


Grand slam.. glam sham scam

Desperate Dan or Tangerine tan plan

God damn..American dream


Our rancour on social media

Danker seedier leaders crimes 

Hanker for

Masquerading couple did the cha cha cha
They were here for New Orlean’s Mardi Gras.
We saw them coming and we gave them a gentle wave.
Their waltz was original, inspired, and extremely brave.

Mysterious Mumbo micron meanders most monochrome mornings
Merry Mickey monster makes mentionable mackerel marmalade
Michigans maleficent mayor maimed Mrs.Maryjane May Marlow
Mumbling meager monarch mumbles making Muncie memorable
Minute minions marched missing marshmallow marsh
Montana mistresses mixed millions, mincing megaphones
Marvelous misguided monkeys mimed minutemen,
Milly mistakenly met misogynist men making mincemeat
Marty’s munchable muffins mysteriously melted
Mystical memories mischievously met Merry Mickey
Missouri's mania

Premium MemberMagnificent Masquerading Marauders

Magnificent marauders masquerading magically might mean 
Messy mollusks masticate marbled marigolds momentarily. 
Maybe. 
Moreover, momentous mosquitoes might make marvelous mini-muffins mixing marmalade momentarily. 
Meanwhile 
Minnie made monthly memories merely medicating masses 
Mediocre men mysteriously manufactured man-made missals 
Might mean 
Millionaires mystify magical muggles’ meager melodies making 
Magnifying, mollifying mortifying mind-blowing majestic missives. 
Moreover, 
Mummies, mammograms,

Masquerading

Poet:  Ken Jordan
Poem:  Masquerading 
Edited by:  Sparkle Jordan
written:  November/2014


There you 
are
Mr. Williams,
Sir.

I have
to
compliment 

your taste
in
clothes.

You are
the
"best dress"
man,

down here
in
the Tenderloin -

where 
everybody
is

hustling 
to
survive -

Know one 
living 
down here,

can 
afford your 
style -

You always
look 
casket sharp,

in
your suits
and
Stacey Adam
shoes.

Why ,
if I had'n 
ever 

seen you
before
Sir -

I'd
say you
where

a professor 
of
sorts.

Mr Williams,
Sir,

you are
the
coolest cat,

down here
in
the
Tenderloin -

Masquerading Troupe of Suburbia

Walking past their witching cackles 
and Phantom screams I noticed 
them all looking the same 
External, different 
Masquerading they all were
pulsing to the rhythm of 
their hearts and music 
Symphony of noise all around 
Internally they are all different 
each their won unique voice,
look, feelings, they only differ 
from the masked appearances 
all of them

Masquerading

Who am I today?
Don't want to make myself known
Want to stay incognito
So you won't really ever know me
Hidden away
Carefully guarding her secrets
Don't really want to know me
Not the real me
Consumed by madness
Timid with a touch of lemon
Dreary life day by day
No excitement
The life of a preacher's wife
The heart of a harlot
The sins of a sailor
Don't
