The Bard Insulted the Schizophrenic Queen

A very warm “Hello”
to the both of you.
If there is some confusion
surrounding the origin of this
little jotting,
I shall illuminate
your befuddled psyches.
This is The Bard.
So now that the mystifying element
of this obiter dictum
has been relinquished,
I shall persist to walk,
with words as my pikestaff,
upon this weary thoroughfare.
As athirst as my rotting
buffoonery may be,
it can go without being said
that no sour faces were meant
to be instigated by it.
My serpentine acrimony
has been known to lacerate
the slender edges of reasonably good form
and as I may disdain
the distant rules of engagement;
I do recognize them.
I also realize that
I have molested that fine line
of good humor;
so as not to beat the donkey
to a point of eternal darkness,
I admit guilt
and pray for your mercy.
So that my head above all things
remains married to my shoulders.
I am gladdened
by your welcoming
and overall accepting ears
and it flickers a faint ray
of candle-lit hope in my heart.
So once again I express gratitude
to the both of you.
And yet again I wander,
believing not what my
fleeceable eyes call out to want.
And I ponder the existence
of this vexed word processor.
And so I bid you both adieu.


Your purveyor of apologetic verse,

                                  The Bard

LOL... A very real concern when you've miffed the monarch! *S* I like this very much!

Thanks suthern. Basically, this is meant to be a complicated and humorous poem from a nervous bard. It's an excerpt from a novel I'm writing.

Lifes but a walking shadow a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and is heard no more. It ia a tale told by and idiot full of sound and furry
signifying nothing. Enjoyed the read.

Marge stole my favorite line.

She knows, I too, am guilty of the same.

I enjoy your work, and the dry humor of this made me smile. It made me miss my own sense of humor, in fact.

thank you

this was great

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~
