We are having fun today writing for Claudia's dversepoets.com cool prompt, connecting the non connectable or being young and wild and free for a bit, mixing metaphors or what have you:
Off the cuff,
A little bit absurd//
A little bit absurd//
a lot silly - it all makes sense to me
"No it does not!"
No peace for the peacemakers;
"death to the executioners"
Needles, not in a haystack,
or a bed of nails -
rather in a bubble bath
to cure what ails
Correct the leaning tower's tilt;
tilt the Eiffel tower//
build dams for ocelots,
let beavers swim the seas
Add 7Up to the bread mix,
stir vanilla into beans//
Make jam from rose hips
to put on havarti and peas;
Or go crazy with Saxifrage cream pie!
Opposites attract - no they don't;
don't lie-
Reminds me of the friendly Heffalumps
and upside down green eggs,
pineapple and ham -
"or was it blue eggs turned over
with sweetbreads and spam?"
Let horses surf the wild waves;
invite homeless turtles home
as guests for dinner...
Tarzan was mellow man;
Alice loved the Mad Hatter!
It's nonsense// right!?
or horse-sense...or,
I know, it's "Duck Soup"!
//or none of the above?
I think I'll take a nap now,
for my brain is 'waterlogged'
or dehydrated,
depending on where you stand
Note, I did not say 'washed', 'tortured',
or 'water boarded' -
because it could be vacant
or burnt to a crisp, as in digitized,
desensitized, nullified
// emptied of all I 'learnt'..
or hung from a eucalyptus tree trunk,
in knots tied
Mind you, I'm getting along just fine
- took my meds today on time;
(true), including vitamins X, Y, and Z
the orange, the little pink ones,
the oblong blue ones, and the green
and white capsules - they all
went down the gauntlet of
my esophagus nicely,
with a bottle of hardy mushroom wine...
a bottle of Perrier? forgot now..
or was it guzzling a barrel of gramp's
ol' moonshine?
