Decorated With Hasty Stitches
Not another nugget
From the mine of dross
One more fest'ring ingot
A most un-special sauce
Noisomely decanted
With ticks where should be vow'ls
And where a cons'nant's wanted
Some monks do lack their cowls
Just another bathtime
In the kitchen sink
Heading for a half-rhyme
Or a singular 'methink'
Loofah at the ready
And rubber ducky floatin'
Not like sodden Teddy
Whose wife claims he is poten'
Stupid? No denial
From the nominee
Stamped upon the file
Stained with oolong tea
Standing firm, impassive
While all about run scared
By the local Massive
For he is quite prepared
Such a preparation
Must be worth the price
Consider the sensation
Spurn the best advice
Choose words circumspectly
Bounce them down the hall
Then arrange correctly
The final word of all
