A brushstroke choreographing dramatic elegy framing harmonic gavotte

A brushstroke choreographing dramatic elegy framing harmonic gavotte 

specified such so as to issue a rhyme, 
but proceeded as this scribe 
didst git linkedin with the cutting crew,
mow or less feeling grassy us,
yet not the least whirlwind will offset 
my b52 coiffed Hair style, 
or hirsute shellacked beehive type do
the idler wheel is wiser than the driver 
of the screw and whipping cords 
will serve you more than ropes will ever do.

No matter from what literary website, 
an unsuspecting reader will accidentally 
stumble upon a ewe
fo' mystic impression 
wilt shame burr lean ache 
shift shape about myself 
some accurate ledge 
gin dairy cowed horsesense 
about me will ensue, 
especially if I sheepishly admitted, 
this beastie back street 

boyz to men iz a genuine foo
fighter toward this former 
stone temple pilot, wildly whizzing,
gurgling in age inappropriate burbling, 
dribbling, flickr ring for a goo goo
doll to dare buffer end me, 
hub bee of piggish, 
ham handed, bay kin a poetic slop hoo
might at this juncture 
succinctly cease reading 

prior to putting 
finishing touches on ma igloo,
when the remaining 
portion of this dippy goofy, 
slippery when whet, 
trippy treacle G.I. Jew,
who would, more aptly 
coon sitter himself hub 
horn hug ken atheist, boot knew
not a whit about Judaism, 

nor any other belief paradigm, 
yet does get fixated 
(usually in the loo)
about philosophical ideas, 
which yet to be revealed 
abstract notion came to me 
while enjoying a plateful of moo 
goo gai pan, plus other Chinese food 
(a favorite cuisine), 
now aye will try to new

dill back to the initial pretext 
found me drawing blanks 
(no not shooting) – ooh
aah, this theme 
within guttersnipe noggin 
more difficult to codify 
than one who whiz 
constipated and try'n might 
damn hard tip poo
anyway, the general premise 

alighted, and fired
mine gray matter cause 
major cerebrum perilous jam up 
with sudden crackling 
star bursts forced 
great mind over matter 
to set brainy bedlam 
in an organized queue
so while attention of yours 
might be moderately rapt, this rue

stirring, hen pecked spouse 
best stop digitally squawking sew
the ethereal essence can beak coxcomb 
brought to cypher awareness too
and in a figurative nutshell, 
when doth a wordsmith 
know when to quit,
or tubby pointed rhetorical question -
at what juncture does any artisan
more prolific than yours truly 

reckon that his/her 
faux matted masterpiece 
can no longer be perfected?, 
cuz further ridiculous tampering, 
to Potschke, or play footsie, 
would induce dedicated followers of mine 
to undergo severe urge to wanna spit
or throw FAKE nipples, 
subsequently they would feel tit
till late head, find this schlemiel 
to end this plotz to whit!

		FINIS.
