Short Hoity Poems

Hodgepodge of high-brow, hoity-toity happy hogs
Happened upon a wagonload of St Bernard dogs
In a hocus-pocus way they turned them into logs
You do not fool with a witch’s razorbacks in these bogs....

Thinking of retiring my limerick pen
Replacing it with a hoity toity pen and then
If y'all get on your bikes
And take proverbial hikes
Maybe I'll just go back to writing limerick gems

arrogance
                   insolent, hoity-toity
          domineering, flawing, insulting
haughtiness, pomposity, humbleness, grace
            groveling, praising, craving
                   profound, modest
                          humility...

Hoity-Toity 
La-Di-Da 
existence desired 
never able to obtain 
the coveted lifestyle
high falutin pompous 
arrogant attempts made
towards obtaining the 
obscure illusive snooty 
characteristics of the 
desired social class 
of the ritzy aristocract 
sitting a top their thrown
looking down upon the lower 
class of society...

crushed concerto cruised
bounty braces bruised
salient seal scrunchy
dark diminuendo dusty
lanky hoists lured
vying voluptuous lurch

wet wits wanky
punctured pills curvy
hoisted heels hefty

saucy syllables scared
hoity bills bear
porous pen's pear

lofty gaunt gifts
etched airy gills.

feeble flesh feigned
rusty reels' reign
hoity hankers bled
porous pruning led
furious feast fetched
blind blitzkrieg belched

gaunt gifts gored
punctured pills pored
nocturnal nature bored

taunted trees moaned
callous crest cloned
damping drooling drone

eerie ends etched
callous catastrophe clenched.

tactic theories tamed
by moaning brain
callous crescendoes' bait
airy acumen craved
felon feasts fostered
hoity twin triggered

rusty rules reeled
raging rumple reek
punctured politics' spree

dark dances dribbled
saucy syllables scribbled
did curves cripple

lanky lust birthed
vying veil's verge.

hoity heist healed
cremating callous creed
dark tumbles drool
bounty bills booed
lanky lists shred
wanky wills wept

mystic metamorphoses moaned
crumbling, crushed clone
cunny crest thrown

bruised concerto bled
sassy syllables crept
twain trail crest

porous past punctured
tampered tunes tortured.

pruned passions bled
clutching callous crest
felon fills fetched
dark dances decked
hoity hankers squashed
taunted thrills trashed

wet wits wanky
sassy sips sugary
nauseating nocturnal nitty

spanked syllables wept
drenching drooling depth
ballsy hollow belched

lusty length lent
porous punctures spent.

lout tout clout
pout mouth shout
draped zeal drooled
pruning punctured pool
hoity hankers hoisted
callous crescendos clothed

eerie passion pulsed
gaunt gifts gulped
tempestuous tongue touched

mystic rhythm moaning
busted, blitzkrieg cloning
muffled maladies glowing

dark dribbles damped
taunted thrills trashed.

lusty lips laced
tainted tuning trace
felon features foiled
bleeding blurry boils
hoity hanker hoisted
voluptuous vying birth

sumptuous smile seeped'n 
nocturnal nature's acme
latter leering heed

apt posture pulses
etched entourage contracting
bruised beauty bleeding

even saucy silhouette
bruise nature's best.

I was walking hoity-toity
When pride tumbled to the ground
And despite its monolithic weight...
It feathered not a sound.

I stretched upon a bended knee
But my efforts were surpassed...
I found the weight... did dissipate
As it reversed to blackened ash.

I stood there for a moment...
Not sure what had turned the tide.
But if one must drop a deadly sin...
It's best to start with pride.

              The End

eerie aura augmented
felon feature fermented
cremating callous contractions
drooling drips punctured
hoity relief reeled
vying voluptuous acme

tainted tongue trained'n
decking damped trail
fostered feelings feign

porous pulchritude birthed
crisp conception pivoted
mystic smirk aided

syntactic silhouette seeped'n
seductive syllables' creed.

Quaint Inanity. 

Sometimes ago I'd thought of the idiosyncratic Shenanigans our politicians  employed  in declaring their manifesto. They're  quite rapscallions. 

Exhibiting hoity-toities during their declarations of flapdoodle, they 
Tune their cozenage to the rhythm 
Of rascality. 

And you see kaleidoscopic legs picking
The nimbus of the elfin music. 

And they're swayed into cotillion till their Fela* commute to dirge.
