Short Dolts Poems

dot to dot, the game dolts play,
ignoring the big picture.
it’s obvious.
blind man’s bluff.

at the late hour —

Michael Latido has quite a history.
He is considered a medical mystery.
The razor blades, nuts and bolts.
Eaten by him and other dolts.

His eating a grocer cart, bicycle 
and claim to fame, doing away inanely...
With a complete Cessna airplane

bone-busting brouhahas broached
barbaric bedlam

comely charwomen
cringed contemplating cruel
commonplace cudgelings 

dank dungeons deterred
disorderly drunken dolts
dissuading dissent

It is really much better you see
If you don't touch this red wire at all
You will light up like a Christmas tree
And smoke like a leaf pile in the Fall
We are moving some really big volts
That will kill you as dead as a stone
We know that the world is full of dolts
Please, please, please...leave that red wire alone

nor the acclaimed gloriousness
that lyrical poets have penned.
what I see is sugarcoated
rationale for warmongering
dolts. I see no glory in that.
Mortem est pretium bellum....
