Hyphenated Hyperventilating



Talking heads 
will give you their attached credentials
with solemn aplomb

And it’s plenty hyphen proof long

They’ll make unlearned eyes gasp
at their hyped expertise

Get simpler minds to hyperventilate,
as their lower rack thoughts 
common sense overheat

Everyday, mundane pondering
takes a kid table backseat

The babble bobble heads,
with the apron string tongues,
love speaking
upper shelf kitchen cabinet highbrow kitsch

Momma says, the couch potato heads
are always angle offering a self-serving dish

Cooking up pretentious phrases,
their broasted chest stuffings
puffs a lot of jive-turkey bleats

It all sounds ear tasty good ... 
got a delicious soul flavor in theory
A tone semi-sweet savor 
worth artichoke heart half hearing

Daddy says, the air bubble heads
always got a shrink-wrap blurb tidbit wish

But you gotta stay tuned-in
to the next programmed “must-see” video lip-clip 

Don’t let the hyphen-attachments 
first guest hook you
Let not your legitimate doubts 
be second guess fooled

Talking heads will always 
try to tinted glass blow smooth,
make you go-getter move

Get your temper ta-ta’s 
to shimmy-shuffle to the hum-drum groove
of the bad hair forecast blues 

Calmly gather your lung precious thoughts,
allow the hyperventilating to cease

Supremely, thinking serenely for yourself
is a television ratings cable disease
