In this whirling capsule/
of a darkened room/
someone played the magic flute/
as nickle tunes were sung/
by melanchol-hic monkeys/
slowly picking through/
the hair of humming bees/

In a sticky corner/
honey d-r-i-p-p-e-d/
off lips of puffed buffoons/
flummoxed and a bit pretentious/
in their too big breeches/
and even bigger boots/

Beneath a taut and threadbare/
strand of inky pearls/
a shadow cast/
on a piggy in a wading pool/
who put two fleshy lips together and blew/

kisses to his mirror image/
on the dark side of the moon/
and as he did he bellowed/
out in oinky rage/
You can kiss my ham hocks/
cuz I'm a poet, too!/

Alrighty then!

The title made me smile. And this poem is a one of the cutest flip of the poetic fingers I''ve seen in awhile.

Thanks and grins.

Maybe I'll try this writing stuff again...
