Once again, hello you folk! If you’re here you got the joke It’s running still like unspilled yolk Like a frog that’s soon to croak By writing this my hands are ***** Filthy fingers gone unruly I’d rather stop, if you don’t mind These silly schemes of verse and rhyme So let’s sit down somewhere not quiet By the street where live the sirens That we might stop hearing all These stupid thoughts that ask for calm Are lobsters red? Is my blood blue? Do colors mean anything true? I don’t know, I sigh a lot Like water simmered in lidded *** I’d stopped to write this, but for what? How could these words have any use? I’m not sure, but come here, closer, There’s one last thing I want to whisper A secret hot like fresh made blisters All punch lines are hit or miss Even those aimed at nothing

Hello!
Once again, hello you folk! If you’re here you got the joke It’s running still like unspilled yolk Like a frog that’s soon to croak By writing this my hands are ***** Filthy fingers gone unruly I’d rather stop, if you don’t mind These silly schemes of verse and rhyme So let’s sit down somewhere not quiet By the street where live the sirens That we might stop hearing all These stupid thoughts that ask for calm Are lobsters red? Is my blood blue? Do colors mean anything true? I don’t know, I sigh a lot Like water simmered in lidded *** I’d stopped to write this, but for what? How could these words have any use? I’m not sure, but come here, closer, There’s one last thing I want to whisper A secret hot like fresh made blisters All punch lines are hit or miss Even those aimed at nothing
Thanks for reading!
