Blither-Blather and Red Yuck, and Pray Like Your Hair's on Fire, 'Coz It Is

    when accused of blither-blather
      seek shelter in the moment, rather
    than plunge right in confrontationally
      into a bottomless pit of calumny

    remember to count to ten again and again
      ramp it up to a thousand, don’t pretend
    if you’re still hot, don’t plead that you’re not 
      or let bygones be bygones and all that rot

    ‘coz the chickens always come home to roost
       when and if you’re still juiced
    you just might slice that swollen face wide open, catsup-red
       then hallucinate as into grinning spiders it is shhh-RED
                          
                          *******

    If the horror you've just read
       fills you with naught but dread
    Try not to lose it, jughead ~ pray hard
       before you go to bed
                               ~ Dr. Jack Ell
