so u real??? 
Warning! The following choppy, batty, 
dopey: elegy = flaky, goofy, history: iffy, 
jumpy, kooky: loopy, matty, nappy, nippy, 
sketchy material prone to find the reader 
dazed and bewildered, yet comfortably numb.

Modern Roam Min Times – mesh 
THERE IS NO RELATION WITH THE 
EPIC OF GILGAMESH (abridged from 
brook land) AND THIS VIGNETTE – in ma Englesh.

thank a u faux sis
this married sexagenarian
encloses his poetic opus
the smooching this celibate 
(sleep as a cellar dweller) chap doth miss 
shaw wish i could give hew a kiss
though ye might rip ply with a hiss
that would usher inxs of x2c Noah obliging bliss.

while perched within mine 
Schwenksville, Pennsylvania aerie
this totally mishmash, succotash, n trash - 
hoopfully finds ya cheery 
so...hallo n greetings ma dearie
just faw bean help ming this fool
 
i.e. myself who haint no fairy,
boot possibly the missing humankind link 
cuz o be yin - head to feet - completely as hairy
Siamese twins with names Tom n Jerry
'though ye might disbelieve moi n feel leery
n doubt every word written - 

but try 2 feign b ying merry
while i pose the following philosophical query...
to make sense = deciphering billy shakes perry
now take a mooch needed break cuz,
the following gibberish might beak comb quite weary.

Is society a better world to live in with less or more?
boy! those Everclear caveman days were brutish, 
nasty, short and rough. that aside, though 
no Culture Club, Fancyfeast, nor Iggy Pop 
the Flintstone era a bit raucous, riotous, and 
yabba dabba with Doobie Brothers rubble ye us. 

Def Jam, ear splitting cacophony felt like 
listening to partying beastie boys on a vampire 
weekend competing with Def Leopards roar 
n rush shin version of hells bells, Inxs of pulp 
fiction sung backwards by cold play, or a brutally 
nasty, yet thankfully short version per youtube 
video drowning out beach boys straight out ta 

Compton winking in the hood while loud Quiet 
Riot !@#$ growls shook B52 sized bats overhead, 
when this grizzled papa bear disturbed (like 
twittering angry birds), and forced to wake 
prematurely from hibernation set his seething 
animal anger to boil, and smoke to issue from 
jack rabbit ass nine looking Don Quixote ears. 

argh! go. whar art thou Cello Yo Yo Ma?

the gumption from this then profoundly gap toothed, 
high browed, red necked ursine, viperous spouse getting 
one swiftly tailored kick in the bony arse sent me flying 
like a twisted sister careening forward out of summer time 
sadness air back to the future. right then n tha hair, earth, 
wind and fire convinced this Homo sapiens he became 
another Grateful Dead Foo Fighter.

upon immediate and most unwelcome exposure therapy 
to the Avast arctic blast (complete with Arctic Monkey), 
this Mama’s and Papa’s Boy (by George) was in no mood 
to neither tangle nor play footsie with Mother Nature. 

Analogous to The Idler Wheel Is Wiser than the Driver 
of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More 
than Ropes Will Ever Do, I wanted to whip the hide, 
when needles of miniature aeroplane shaped snow white 
slippery buckshot elements of style kissed, pierced and 
smashed against his face from those shoddily made flimsy 
animal clothes that barely kept him warm. 
Lucky for vat of midnight oil, which shrouded me 
in n wispy pearl jam pelt. 

Tears for Fears spilled in One Direction (like 10,000 
Maniacs bursting from a Soundgarden or highly 
revved Motorhead emulating a Quiet Riot).
 
Wah. Stop crying bellowed the Queen Scorpion 
(Poison ing the Air Supply). 

Without - dark shadows of a doubt slunk N’Sync 
with the twilight zone along the edge of night, these 
beatle browed Monkeys (strewn by denim dog gone 
hooligans), who cawed like sum Cajun gumbo baboons 
as proto Partridge Family for a banana split Sunday 
closing out Vampire Weeknd packing a full house 
at the Tokyo Hotel.

Anyway, I practically froze off mine scrawny tush. 

Dang! 

Ooh, how purty, a cute deer. 

Out came the bow and arrow. 

the feathered lancet described a Nike arc with 
Nike like swoosh bulls’ eye.

Upon uttering "hey Lucy i am home", the little 
beasts tore their sharp nine-inch long nails into soft raw doe.

Bathe? The (Puddle Of Mud battled crippled creek), 
when a dry riverbed doubles up as a mud bed or 
washbasin after the springtime flood.
 
How in the name of judas priest could our ancestors 
enjoy feeling like a beast of burden? 

who says you cannot always get what you want? Alice 
cooper in chains? Beastie boy George Cinderella? Eddie 
money? Freddie Mercury? Iron Maiden? Lana del rey? 
Jane’s addiction? Pink Floyd? Yes! the entire Motley Crue?
