Leave poetry to the big guns

[Leanne]

Well, this is how the story goes:
A poem walked into a bar
You’ll claim to doubt me, I suppose

It breasted up; the patrons froze
(It may have left the door ajar)
Well, this is how the story goes

From out its sleeve, it pulled a rose
and said “I’ll have a pinot noir” –
you’ll claim to doubt me, I suppose

The barman said, “We don’t take those.
Four dollars, mate, or out you are.”
Well, this is how the story goes.

The poem, threatened by the pros
Pulled from that sleeve a Howitzer
(you’ll claim to doubt me, I suppose)

The pen is mighty, but this shows
Artillery is best by far
Well, this is how the story goes
You’ll claim to doubt me, I suppose...

I respond to a low level of fun these days. Even ones with poems that shoot guns. I'm bound to take the thing too seriously.

Then you need to hang around here some more, to remind yourself that poetry can just be for the hell of it

Billy, you villywilly vellywell...

it was accidental

i like poetry that makes me laugh or even smile.
humour is food of whatever..
and howitzers make a person pay more attention

i have a secret snake but know one's ever done a poem about it

One time I got the autobiography of Harpo Marx out of the library, and someone had wrote all over the photos in the middle of the book, and it scarred me for life. Snakes are ok, but I dont like spiders or scorpions.
