Soft like the finest silk
from way afar in Cathay
smooth like the purest milk
iridescent in ebony lustre radiance
a beguiling all encompassing cover
that blesses organs finely tuned and talent

So in sublime grace
tis nowt but surprising to find
it's thick skinned and tough as hide
impervious to vicissitudes of trench mouths
and the jaundiced orators and scribes maladroits
for when mental apoplexy strikes tis known that reasoning flees

A common concerns of muzhiks
trollied on fermented brains in gutless sacks
barking and yapping absurdities of soured incantations
bewitched in the coven of tainted echoes of the mindless throngs
who beg acceptance in puddles to bathe and be glaze as neon slaves
for tis better to honk as pigs an be a flying monkey than just a nobody

And yet in fatuous fare the ****** and prods of herds and sheep baa'd
diluting rancid mead to drink in selves stuporific delight
as a fish angled in nets leans on fellow fish in same net
theirs is to do and do and do again and again
show me the drunk that knows he's drunk
no, you only see sobriety fall on his face
Tis the way of this class of people
for to the unrefined towns mob
mindless excesses is a way
of unrewarding life
for where do the
talentless go
and what
do they
do

but....
