Perfectly poetic is what I propose to be
Predictable perceptions for all the world to see
Posthumously parodied a name on all your lips
Profanity prolific like sailors on the ships
Premeditated problems fixed with ire and humour
Predilected preferences are true and not a rumour
Prospective prosperity in spirit not in money
Perfection personified for rhymes that can be funny

The Dummy
Lying in a corner
With a smirk on his face
Eyes wide, not yet moving
Maché thoughts circulate.
Reality assured,
He was ready to go,
Dependency resting
On a hand from below.
His own paralysed hands
In his parodied suit
Did not have the means
To greet or salute.
From whence the desire,
The will and intention?
How to be free from
Ventriloquist intervention?
The God of the dummy
Is beyond belief,
His place in the corner
A God-given peace

*with due apologies to the late, great Langston Hughes*
What happens to a dream deferred?
Me? Defer a dream?
Nah, I ain't that mighty a fool!
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Raisins! Mmm, I love me some raisins...
on oatmeal, on cookies, the works!
Or fester like a sore?
Yikes! the imagery on human skin!
And then run?
If dreams run, I got legs
I'd give chase!
Does it stink like rotten meat?
If so I'd toss it
while holding my nose!
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Oh, I sure hope it does
coz I'm a sweet tooth, baby!
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Hey, there's a Camel for that!
Or does it explode?
Whoa! An exploding dream?
I'd stay 500 paces away from this one!

Death parodied Iron Maiden's band
with satirical mimicry,
a Twisted Sister bandstand
complete with flames and gimmickry.
As die-hard rock and rollers danced
Death parodied Iron Maiden's band,
the reaper keeping souls entranced
while maintaining the upper hand.
Beelzebub was Death's stagehand
languishing in the flames of hell,
Death parodied Iron Maiden's band
until the fallen angels fell.
His guitar screamed heavy metal
the kind of tunes parents banned,
annoying as stinging nettle
Death parodied Iron Maiden's band.

a true legend with spoken words
the world’s oldest reigning monarch
rarely gives interviews
personal feelings not know
her beliefs fundamental importance
well known for her dry witticism
habits were parodied by media
know not to be a teetotaller
wants to see her kingdom live forever
hypocrisy lessened and faded
the future British world is hers
truth her glory, riches, and honours
reign acquired but never regretted

Like a great parodied indolent
Such illusions of meaningless digressions
Compliant with a game of chance
Purred for the sun to pass
And built a twilight barricade
Till hunger drew slack
Then like a flack of mottled light
Round beneath it
Time in hours
It moved the world..

World Wide Web welcomed the world over
Computer communication consisting as a combined operation, though
Poised and positioned, pertinent persons are parodied, as
Caricaturists calculating cajolery creates challenges
Tacticians tantalises with tangible tall stories, though
Rules regulate racketeers and raging ranters
Friends and family Skype face to face in fellowship.

(Can you guess which Sheep/lamb nursery rhymes
I’ve parodied with these three piggy rhymes?)
1. Oink oink, white pig, have you any pork?
No WAY, Mister! Drop your fork!
You think you’re takin’ bacon? In a pig’s eye!
You’ll have to drag me kicking from my pig’s sty!
2. Sullivan Slime has sold his swine
To a butcher man named Kevin.
They’re gone from his home, no more to roam.
Let's hope they're in hog heaven!
3. Hilda had a big fat hog, big fat hog, big fat hog.
Hilda had a big fat hog; its snout was cute and pink.
And everywhere it went with her, went with her, went with her,
And everywhere it went with her, it made an awful stink.
To hide its smell, she used her car, used her car, used her car.
To hide its smell, she used her car to take it near and far.
And since on freeways it was hauled, it was hauled, it was hauled,
And since on freeways it was hauled, a “road hog” it was called.

To affirm a show has made it,
More than ticket sales, the proof
Can be found if it is parodied
And pops up in a spoof.
For it’s fun to poke some fun at
Those performances so big
All the audience will recognize
The actor and the gig.
It’s the price of fame and fortune,
For success bestows the right
To exaggerate one’s attributes
And take a mocking bite.
While the viewers grin, the targets
Of the spoof have the last laugh,
For the public still will clamber
To receive their autograph.
