Edicts may be written, and passed onwards down.  
A smile is nothing more than a frown on a clown  
what we see and spake on smoke,  
the jay gets passed, don’t forget to toke.  
The penultimate chapter has yet to be writ,  
fierra is a hottie of a brit  
she’s in love with a surly girly  
her una dear, love’s a tilt-a-whirly  
callipygian women they both may be,  
but god forbid Joey ever see.

Wow. I am in awe. I especially like “A smile is nothing more than a frown on a clown”, a phrase of almost Edie Brickell-ian proportions.

And it captures my sleeziness in a way no poem ever has before. Wow.

fractured prisms of pustletude.  
a glass of your feignest champagne.  
Don’t tell me to do the fucking hustle dude,  
Cause my goiters are causing me pain.  
A tounge slips into my meatotomy,  
and slivers along it’s course.  
rough enough for you baby?  
that tounge, it’s like a horse.  
blowfish bratwurst on evening meals,  
raspberry mustard for migranes.  
I’ve sucked off my fair share of eels,  
When the moon waxes… not wanes.

I wanted a block of gouda.

your recidivism don’t sit with me.

the hoi polloi may be ok with it,

Hmmm. Though I _could_ take issue with your creative rhyming of **gouda** and **chowda** (wacky Coldy-speak notwithstanding), the bourgeoise bit more than makes up for it. Truly kick ass, oldie. You have some weird talents…

I aim to please and please to aim Saph.

And now for Dyno’s poem.

Obsequious mice are nice on rice for any price.  
Juxtapose that hat in your feather heather.  
for any attempt to catch me will result in failure, nice?  
I don’t think so, to quote Joey, tougher than leather.  
Looking at a plain of pain in rain torching Spain,  
he ate crocodile tears for breakfast,  
woodn’t that be metal cain?  
and he screamed ANTHROPOMORPHIC at last!

erotic eh?

I’ll give it a shot

Sucking deep on his honey,  
sweaty bucking bronco of love,  
handcuffed by huricannas,  
she is his true dove.

Matt and Jeff Hardy doubleteaming  
in the very best sense,  
naked green jello wrestling,  
It’ll happen in the future tense.

Duck lips pornography

bathroom cleanup is sleazy  
good taste dictates tums.

orchids

He took her honor with a pencil stub  
easier if he had taken the time to rub  
on bended knee the grope was denied  
as it was she cried and cried.

Contamination of the brain.  
Mentalitiy bursting with surging pain,  
Styborgian rutabagas on attack,  
my brain hits the cement with a loud smack  
Bifurcated now, and forever  
you think you’re so damn clever  
just because you don’t know the pain  
of going on with half a brain.

Wathers wouldn’t wake like you,  
or funneral pyres flamed  
the barrister’s banister spake like you,  
and Patty, she was framed.

Noodle’s noodlectomy  
sadly went awry,  
sinfully sooty and pecked from me,  
it made your mooher cry.

Swanlike in significance,  
and lawyerly like lice,  
the multitudes magnificence,  
would blind any three mice

I kept your heart oh dearest,  
I kept your heart for life  
You were more than just a beer rest,  
you were more than just a wife.
