Way of Speaking

Poetry please I'd like to hear what's on your mind,
and I'd love to know what bounces around in your head,
did you hear what I said ???

Unsympathetic gestures and mentions with it twisting around
like the spinning of a carousel with the horses going up 'n' down
and I wonder who's around...

You know, these days, this 'n' that
it's like you can't reach people anywhere but on a cell-phone...

Never using the house-phone, always the cell-phone, a "celly"
because what comes out of the mouth ain't poetry, like this...

Hardly a rhyme and ne'er a didactic pentameter,
only on the page do we find exact and premeditated speech,
eating like a peach and chugging like a folly, poetry makes you feel jolly

Poetry makes you feel jolly alright... =)
