False Memories of a Papal Failure
I blench to acknowledge my failure
Mediocrity shall be my middle name
Wherefore I shall wander,
To Australia
I belch to acknowledge my drinking,
Inebriation is my highest aim
Therefore I will squander
Half of Nanking
I bop to acknowledge my poetry,
Assonance was my surest fame
Therefore I shall plunder,
North Oswestry
I hope to acknowledge my life,
Sacrosanct was my purest game
Therefore I shall blunder
Into Neverland
I pause to acknowledge all life
Daguerrotype hobbling lame
Henceforth I shall wonder
Towards Kiev
I hop the potato train,
In search of eyes that do not see
Hence my meander
Through Bahrain
I plan the upcoming feast,
Each country to take a chair
to capture ideas flowing west to east
while sharing hope with tasty thoughts
Dare these thoughts be shared between
Halfwits on a greasy pole
Ahh, but the wings are stretched in flight
Much further-reaching than the mole
I think to improve my logic,
Intuition was my direst foe
Therfore my destination,
Is the station
I scratch to relieve my itching,
Psoriasis has skin aflame
Watch as I chunder
Down to Texas.
While bitching
I wince to think of this poem,
Alone in its bed of a night
Perhaps it holds its Teddy,
For life unready
