THE TORTUOUS TEMPTER
by TD Euwaite
Cheese on the trap tongue,
a spring and bail type…back cracker!.
Sample the morsel of cheese,
nibble here and there…lip smacker!.
I’ve seen unsprung and debaited traps before,
heard the hater man…rat tracker!.
I want the cheese for me,
and not to bleed out on that little wooden pallet
where the tin and wire bastinado waits…tortuous tempter!.

M-80 in the toilet mind,
a winter whail type…crack smoker!.
Lick a dynomite stick,
nibble the cord…hot fecker!.
I’ve seen fireworks and debaited guns before,
herd the goosemen… nazi plucker!.
I leave the chord for you,
and not to bleed out of the place you poo
where the helmet and bulletproof vest hang…
Springtime at a German sanitarium!.

Reality is always trying to creep in - ignore it and it will go away!. If that doesn't work, you can try beating it over the head with your keyboard!. Or just deny it and replace it with a reality of your own (I think the technical term for that is schizophrenia)!. I hear drugs and alcohol are a big help!. That or fanaticism or a nice obsessive mania (is there such a thing as a "nice" obsessive mania!?)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
The image I see is that of a mouse,
Squished by the neck with a SNAP,
No doubt!.
I'll refrain from temptation of Crackers
And Cheese!.
Plain pickled onions will do,
If you please!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Metaphorically what, but for a poem!?
No way!
Weigh!
Lead belly heavy!.
Too many great balls of fire ironed flat
Buck shot to bits of silver
gallions of gold!.
And grilled cheeses on toast!.
Harrrumph!
