Short Otiose Poems

Folks must be happy in Guatemala

   With tax money frittered by Kamala

      Will she visit the border
 
         To 'stablish peace and order

             Or is she just Joe's otiose* wallah**

Wrapt in the otiose aumbry of pride
A glede hythe a quiff will gust aside
Her folly selcouth
Binds her  fast to her wanweird
To speak ever sooth
She is thrawn, my sister, my coëval
Into fell Truth’s ghyll she will smiling fall

Morrow’s dawnsun, rise!
Drown in the throes of today!
Sky dragons, melt away!
Morrow’s dawnsun, drown!
Rise in grief’s eternal day!
Sky dragons, melt away!...

and stench fire around

sunshine
Telling ur the end of 
those former days.

Then shall our eyelids 
close in sorrow
But tears have wiped 
away our sorrows
And our lions roaring in 
joy 
Marking the start of 
new days
And the end to the 
palsy-walsy....
