Shenanigans and Poppycock
Shenanigans and poppycock -
the wild wood with unrest.
Will amazon deliver the chest
of acorns and walnuts before Winter sets?
On their “I” phones, those with bushy tails
don’t want to work for nibbles. Kips,
after a long, long, long

In the Realm of Poppycock
In the realm of poppycock sidewalks sing
When stepping on melodies in the cracks,
You’ll enjoy the height of the smallest thing
The exotic ponies with pink-striped backs.
Beware the cows returning from the moon
Loving brown bears will cuddle with you,
The sweetest hymn is the song of the loon,
For everything here is an imagination zoo.
Hills are covered with marshmallow

The Land of Poppycock
A nether world of pirates, pixies, and palaces
No passport needed in the land of poppycock
A rich imagination swirling about in one’s head
The pink unicorn, a chip off its father’s old block
Peaceful creatures living together without fear
Where streets are forever marshmallow white
The seasons come and go without repetition
And when something’s done, it’s done right.
A nether world

Smore Sprawling Poppycock
S'more sprawling poppycock
Chock·a·block discombobulated poem
for your reading pleasure
dashed off ad hoc
my final literary endeavor before
hour hand affixed
to intricately carved cuckoo clock
displaying carved leaves, birds,
deer heads (Jagdstück design),
other animals, aquatic militia man,
etc feigns firing flintlock
(announcing onset of
daylight savings times)
said French soldier christened Jacque
dipping paddles of oarlock
into time stream
as the sun beats down,
he doth shockingly unfrock.
Once again

Poppycock
I'd rather owe it to you than cheat you out of it
never loan money it never returns
If you do the same thing over and over
you're in your comfort zone
Fences make good neighbors
a thirty-foot wall makes them better
You have to break eggs to make an omelet
milk a cow so we can add

Pesky Poppycock Payback Please Prepare
Prevarication permits pretend perception, presenting
piquantly piqued, pimply pimping playboy, plucky
pulchritudinous previously pusillanimous, prevalently
puckish, psychic packman, pokemon playing proletarian
puppeteer pygmy, peevishly punky, plummy, plumy,
pompously pushy, pampered, prefabricated pinchbeck,
pokily plying plowshear, plodding peregrination, pied
piper pitifully peppy pornographic potato pealing,
parsimonious paradoxical protagonist, proposing
preposterous panicky pacification plots, prioritization
pertinent penultimate peroration, perhaps perceiving
perjuring, perplexing, perverting puzzling pronouncements
projecting pulsating pixelated pulpy

Tomorrow's Poppycock
If you walk the walk and talk the talk, surely people will gawk
Especially if you're a male wearing jockeys chanting in ancient dialogue
Must realize it's out of the norm
As strange wee animals swarm
Guess people aren't ready for tomorrow's poppycock

It’s Monday shout hip hip hooray.
