Illustrious nonsense

Oh my, a broken seal
On the philosophic plug
Is causing a rift in the
Penguin obscurity,
Turning knock-knock jokes
Into fables,
Yarns into moralities
Where education mixes
With a carumbym
Of paralyzing
Compromise, only
Hypocrisy and anxiety
Can survive, say the
Elder pterodactyls who feign
Feeding their young to Nile
Crocs, smirking under their
Tusks, pretending ignorance
While cooling in the mud.
Ruination in the comical floss,
Tension is snapping lines
Obtuse with age:
Were roles reversed,
Only superfluity could
Patch the cracked plug hole,
But a duplicitous smart ass has
Given out the punch line and
Left our specialist speechless,
Drowning in the swales,
Swallowed by gulps
Of faulty logic,
Capsized by
Copernicus sized counter revelation.

"Oh my, a broken seal

Like that allot.
"pretending ignorance
While cooling in the mud."
So good!
Thanks for sharing.

I think you've captured the essence of chaos theory here, Tom. Wow. Love the spine like drawing, too, of course.

I did a doodle the other day. Before I knew what was happening, I had written, Looks like one of Tom's - except he would have a cool poem attached.

I salute you!

"Turning knock-knock jokes into fables..." Wonderful nonsense.

Tom said...

Brian; one is funny, the other frightening!

Thanks Liza, love your input. Figures you would enjoy the mud part, as you like tramping out about the wild through the mud!!!!

Reya...send it on over and I will attempt to attach some deranged meaning to it...or maybe you have your own caption?

Willow; you are right at least that it's nonsense...unless you believe there is some hidden meaning...?

There must be hidden meaning! Have you been listening to politicians digging themselves into holes?

There is often tension in my snapping and I am obviously obtuse (cos i don't know the hidden meaning)- so at least I can identify with those lines!

Tom said...

hi Cinn...no i don't usually listen to politicians; i leave that to the experts...
and there probably is meaning in everything--maybe its some sort of matrix code bleeding out into the open!
