(to late for Hanukkah)

I attach very
little value, nee doubt
to farfetched linkedin
phenomena brought about
when breaking off

the larger section
of a wishbone,
sans effortless knockout,
my dominant hand
did hold out,

while yours truly pretended
to freak out
with a playful
twist and shout,
no matter aye attribute

"FAKE" good luck,
thus resumed crafting
this poem scout
ting for expressing
rhyme to work out

for no reason only to rollout
a silly ditty re:
guarding Bobe myseh -
I did not tout
(Old wives tale,

an untrue belief), -
on par with trout,
that could scale Mount Fisher
anticipating literary washout
nonetheless silently did ruminate,

(preposterous yen for
lower teeth to sprout),
after filling more
lines against whiteout
quickly some minutes

passed, or thereabout
aye, forgot about
the matter altogether
thus imagine my utter stirabout,

when my tongue felt
faint ridge to stickout
no, though gifted
     with vivid imagination...,
an immediate welled up,

(then quickly squelched) to runabout
mine person tends tubby
     low key, but...now phaseout,
could take place
     for lower dentures

with greater choice of foods,
(this pork guy) could pigout
humph...naturally methought
third set of teeth,

     not exceptionally outrageous,
     nor exceptionally noticeable
unless...lower lip made
into a miniature rainspout.
