Limerick : Once a typsy Toddy-Tapper took Wench

Once a typsy Toddy-Tapper took Wench
Up coco-nut tree with monkey wrench

Unjustly stymied, down by law,


The good citizen balks, throws his -


Monkey wrench into the grinding gears of society:

Messiah complex
In a turtle neck
Twirling vortex wreck
Black hole quench
Talking in riddles

i treasure the innermost rhythms
and broke down in my mind each mound
now it is all goose dropping fodder
being duplicated by the pound
what once was an oatmeal raisin cookie smile
is now a kid with broccoli on a fork frown...
