The Merchant

some stupid poem

The Merchant

 

A plethora of platypus and emasculated mussels

 

Torpid tarantula by the pound and shrimp in little vessels

 

Rhinoceros? that's ridiculous, but I have tons of aged ants

 

Pallets full of porcupine and pots of angsty plants

 

The platypus might be poisonous and the mussels lack some vigor

 

Tarantulas may be sleepy and shrimp that could be bigger

 

Old ants and angry plants, spikey mammals, I have many

 

If you're hung up on the Rhinos, sorry -don't have any

This took me back to the years of "way back when", images of merchants on the path side, hocking their wares to weary travelers

The very model of the modern major general or at least rthymically so.

I hope you know you got that song stuck in my head for the last 4 hours of my shift. I had to look up the lyrics and I am in the middle of memorizing them. Devilish. Good job sir. Also thank you for the review .

My abject apology. That G/S ditty is insidious. Mea culpa.

When you find yourself in the lowest circle of hell you can tell Judas himself that it was Rogers and Hammerstein that got you there.
That's a bit harsh. Gratius tibi ago ob commentarium tuum. (Studied Latin). All is forgiven dear friend.

With your permission I'll tell him it was Gilbert and Sullivan.

Damn, I checked and you're right. I'm just glad that misciting musical theater isn't a hellworthy crime like inserting an earworm is.

One man's "Mikado" is another man's "Inferno."

Love nonsense so this site with me really well. Looks a simple wee write but we both know differently.
Very well written.
