Attention from the point, distract.
Was Humpty cracked before he fell ?
The odds are that the deck is stacked.

"Bo Peep was prob'ly smokin' crack,"
said Brothers Grimm, " were truth to tell".
Attention from the point, distract.

Boy Blue plays cool, but watch your back,
ask not for whom they toll the bell.
The odds are that the deck is stacked.

When one accepts the given facts,
don't fool with rules of villanelles.
Attention from the point, distract.

A manic panic laugh attack
would seem to suit me very well.
The odds are that the deck is stacked.

Against this there's no turning back.
Not time, nor tide, it's all pell-mell.
Attention from the point, distract.
The odds are that the deck is stacked.

ROFLMAO. This is just great. Looks like it follows the form exactly (well almost exactly anyway, or is that an oxymoron?) and even makes sense. Does that mean there must be something wrong with my thinking today?

Pete,
Yup. I've been accused of a lot of things, but making sense usually isn't one of them.
Glad you enjoyed.

Sounds like a Villanelle to me and such humor!
Are you pushing for an A++?
I really enjoyed this!

I wouldn't know a villanelle if I lived in one but I enjoyed the hell out of your write!

Humpty Dumpty sat on a Moose
Humpty Dumpty was a bit loose
Humpty said, "Moose's villanelle
Really Dumpty Dumped quite well..."
