Dizzying Hullaballoo Linkedin Parochialism Touting Xmas

breeding frenzied jawboning 
nastiness, rock'm sock'm vermin 
zealously, dizzying hordes kickstart 
outrageous trampling, xMen busting

displays, heralding luminary 
pastoral times, Xing Bethlehem
figurine Jesus observes sacrilegious 
wackiness anarchy.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
  
Ah, nothing beats the fistfights, 
   bloodied noses, 
   knocked unconscious bruising 
   bad ass blimp 

   at absolute gall
bladder kicking, eye poking, 
   neck choking, up pall
ling, et cetera brutality at this, 
   that, or s'mother mall

far from madding crowd portentous squall, 
but at a safe distance 
   removed along a deserted hall
witnessing flying seer sucker-punches, 

   et cetera all
encompassing pandemonium 
   solely about one small 
pinterest ting live mutant 

   ninja vudu doll, a mere couple inches tall,
sporting ability to transform 
   into an antagonistic tournament
   cavalier two pronged horn spurning beast, 
   which former attribute 
   manufacturer didst install
with constituent parts shipped from Blue Ball 

poker red hot furious loosed bull 
   eyeing a glitter bauble
   half cocked pissant, with an alien drawl
dressed in bulletproof coverall
page number two:

shoving people 
   just another brick against a wall
angrily erupt volcano like, 
   provoking  lava lee flowing mayhem, 
   when a security detail 
   prior to temporary cease fire didst recall

merely axes whatsapp with y'all
thence, bing kicked in groin 
   and reduced to crawl, 
   thus in no mood to sing jingall
bells, where stood, 

   yet another beefy watchman 
   aghast at squall
lid human wrecking machine 
   analogously offensive as off fall
spreading riotous wildfire conflagration 

   analogous to absent referee, 
   when sure betted best 
   team mate of foot ball  
   lost Superbowl game 
   by a tackle merely postal
stamp size distance to win game, 

   thus anonymous observer 
   made an urgent call
   to Donald Trump, whose reaction begot
an uncontrollable nuclear fusion reaction 

   jerryrigged, hair-pulling, 
   fisticuff dueling brawl,
spreading bedlam, sparking 
   avast capitalone, groupon, 
   flickr ring plenti tinder 
   triggering military police to go awol.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 
a quick thinking whippersnapper 
   holds up a baseball bat 
as a make shift microphone, 
   and with donning a reversed hat
feigns to be an announcer 
   live from pseudo faux palestra and spat
out nonsensical tit for tat.
