Marry You?!
You are
Unlacing my heart’s matrix
You are
Brittle lacunae in my bones
You are
Baffled buffoon in my box
You are
My balatron from Barnum and Bailey
Sputtering Inflected infected lexemes and locutions
Morphological languid linguistics
Brought down to ex haus tion…
Having ab sconded from your flagRant lips
All flags are waVinG wAr nings in wailing w inds
Like a mal adJusted jester you jUst sit there
Barely jEsting
Like a Therapist on Theraflu
So what am I to do?
Trounced goaded by your giant girth
Inside I am screaming!
Like a trapped Slattern to a pillory
Sh irking fictitious flames stolen from Zeus!
You are an onus to my sanity
And an anchor to my vanity
So the answer is NO!
I don’t want to marry you!
You are a bawdy brawny bozo!
As we say in French:
“Un grivois sans voix…”
Yet still you are MY burly brethren boor…
Giving fit formidable dry thumps… ˈyəummy-
Come here…you BIG dumb c*m dump!
On dine ensemble ce soir, chéri?
