Short Farcical Poems

They have the look, the farcical
Over-fanciful stamp
Of last minute additions; in
Squirrel; cone it clutches.
Or in world-sized expositions
Of a display's re-vamp
Lily-ponded, frog-jumped, for those
Charming little touches....

Jeer, farcical cheer
Jive, cheer to sneer
Jest, barb to test
Pun, jest for fun
Joke, fun to poke
Jab, poke to grab
Joust, jabs that roust
Jibe, taunting vibe
Josh, vibe to squash 
Jolt, tingling volt
Jaunt, volting flaunt...

*Tainted Tongue*

turbulent torrent puking
rustic waves, feigning
passion gulping gaunt
horizon; hoisted bow
receding thuds pounding
punctured mists mumbling

thirty one years
creature in tier;
human, ape, bear

bounty beards blushing
farcical feets' felony
trudged earth moaning

sans tamed language

whooshing wits woven
crushed tongue cloven
dark age drooled
felon fate fooled
haughty nature's nimble
foiling feasts feeble

salient seal bruised
callous crave cruised
vying voluptuous view

severed passion smoldered
crushed, crimson asunder
squashing lanky lethal

farcical fury fumbled
fiddling fostered fickle.

Manipulated by the powers that be,
Hoping for a Lazarus economy,

Any miracles today?
Mystical revival,
Elections--farcical,
Candidates--comical,
Tweedledum?
Or Tweedledummer?
Yes, games people play,
Miracles on the agenda today?
Made any jobs today?
Not for the old, for the young,
Their careers not even begun.
Hoping for a Lazarus economy--
Who are the powers that be???????...
