ping is the sun in the Saragun sky
he is up from six to six bringing light
but ping weaves a crookedly crooked path
choosing his own course upon his own rise
ii
the flying billigits launched a query
of which was the type this pen is weary
how does one rhymely rhyme sky light and rise
the pen shook her head all drunk and bleary
iii
ping does go wherever he wantly wants
and yet he never hears your tauntly taunts
orange ladyboy askers grill me no more
about off label rhymes like know it all snots
iv
pong is the moon in this little stanza
he drinks a bit and tokes of the ganga
Billigits claim this verse is even worse
This pen sent them to see Joe Mantegna
these are hilarious. That Daisy Kloverleaf eh! dd

Combining ganja with Mantegna is pure unalloyed brilliance; also, one of my favorite edible products, plus Joe is a Chicago and Cicero boy, which for me makes it all that much better!
Totally dig how you pushed the rhymes in this one. It almost bursts the seams or explodes but doesn’t, quite. That kind of writing is like a high-wire walker working without a net! The rubaiyats are not standing still in one place, but moving all over the place, just like poetry should do. Awesome.

Hi Dale
I have always liked Joe M. He was one of the few actors who got good reviews in the ill-fated Godfather III. And he is brilliant as “Fat Tony” on the Simpsons.
And his name, to quoth Daisy came in handedly handy for the “rhyme. ”
Thank you again!
