AII: Artificially Inseminated Intelligence
In regular features they say beauty lies
Though some men say pouts are a thriller
Beholders find beauty within their own eyes
As do girls who love men like gorillas
Overstuffed as the couch we live on, we are the new Victorians.
It’s encouraging that I keep on learning right to the end
Discouraging that I’m still getting Cs
The open road entices me
I’m a pup when outward bound
All played out when I head for home
Dragging my tail on the ground
We think that we decide where, when, and with who we go
That’s just graffiti on the big concrete wall
Its bacteria inside us and outside us too
Who are really running the show
Although I was a Major of English, I often misuse the Saxon’s genitive.
I don't look at the weather forecast
If it's bad it depresses
If good, it disappoints
The ostrich and I only consult the weather when hitting the road
The cold of January feels permanent
The cold of February feels provisional
The cold of March feels fleeting
You fill in the rest
The counselor accompanies us to the secret room and stands by while we open our doom
It can be a while before we move on depending on the beast in that room.
In the Scrabble dictionary, AI is a three-toed sloth.
ReplyDeleteYour traveling companion ain't going to like that moniker...
ReplyDeleteSquib form appears to have changed form from couplets to quatrains, although couplets persist.
ReplyDelete"As do girls who love men like gorillas" - Does this mean girls like men who look like gorillas or girls act like gorillas when they love them?
Love the outward bound pup who must share the Outward Bound motto: There are lots of things you don't want to do, but once you have done them, they are the best.
I would never assign you a C. Not a squibwriter as clever as thee!
