Poem-fragment
Failed efforts are sometimes worth sharing.
*
The chortle sophisticate
veered on while instigate
a spurt among the surrounded
clump of extremity, multiple
and involved nincompoop.
The chortle had succeed
with flabbergast
the nincompoop, whose
was why they spurt.
That dandy and chortle
sophisticate he were
full up finely
and entire burp the tune,
continuous approaches
coming toward
addressing veritably
you a hatfelt plea hello,
immensely bow and
smug crowd of himself,
to continue plunge
and contumely
on his wayward.
While he will reaching
a hill topping, dawdled he
his suave and hirsute
pulpit. The chortle took
pause with a situation.
“If only my pleats
was mingle!” launch
he. “How I desire for
the plump and genteel
inveterate as oneself!”
