Shelf-Life

I love cake –
I never will be through with it,
Cos any kind we bake
Has so much we can do with it:
Use it as an ornament,
Use it as a pet chair,
Use it as a jotting-pad,
Use it as a set square,
Use it as a dickie-bow,
Use it as a floor mop,
Use it as a paperweight,
Use it as a doorstop,
So many ways of having it,
It’s really off-the-ball.
To even waste a little bit
By eating it at all.

Verbally Hyperbole

Ladies and gentlemen,
Merchants and rental-men,
Fully intended and coincidental men !
I beg your attendant attention, please –
With the greatest of ease,
And a bonnet of bees,
I lyric’ly soar from my teasing trapeze.
So all of you gathered
Are thoroughly slathered
With rather a lather of blather and blust-
An oral oration,
Unceasing cessation,
A wordy and nerdy yet sturdy narration
Of lustre-ful gusto and thrust.
I’m using my jam
To chamois the sham,
To dropping the whopping and stopping the spam.
So, bacon and lentil-men,
District and Central-men
Ladies and gentlemen – all this, I am !

Not shy to express a finesse in my screeds,
As the speeding line breeds and the reading stampedes –
Cascading and braiding and always exceeding,
I’m weighed-in and played-in and feeding the creeding.
With no time for coasting, but making-the-mosting,
A magus contagious in outrageously boasting.
With languid loquacity,
Verbal vivacity,
Flexing my rhetoric raconteur’s rhapsody.
I’m so versatile and I’m so verse-o-phile,
So worthy and wily and worth-all-the-while –
Beguiling my styling, and fertile my smile,
Compiled and dialled for rapid rapport –
For miles and miles behind and before,
Let all know my score,
Let all hear my roar !
All sentimental-men, shout your encore !
So, pouch and placental-men,
Ladies and gentlemen !,
All this, I am.  Damn !  All this and more !
