Yellow Tomatoes ( a piss take on Free Verse )

I can’t be bothered to rhyme today

Though nobody seems to care

So I will call it free verse

Nobody will stop and stare, at it

 

I can’t be bothered to make it scan

Or count each line or verse

I will just type any old garbage

Let others hit reverse, in their car

Or not

 

I can’t be bothered why should I

I can always select free verse

That gives me such a cop out

No need to think or rehearse, it

 

This poetry larks a doddle

All you do is spout some words

Then click the box says free verse

You’ll be flying with the birds, or toast

Or yellow tomatoes

Very clever! The extra little words tacked on the end of each stanza made me laugh every time!

You are absolutely right!! Seriously. I was just thinking that most of my junks should belong to "short story". But I don't have time to develope each of them long enough. I will...in future.
