How to use evisceration in a sentence!

How to use evisceration in a sentence!

A Poem by andrew mitchell

The moral of this story:
we invent things
to destroy things.

How to use eviscerate in a sentence.
First, remove the verb,
followed by the adverb
to render the sentence immobile,
and without direction.
Then disembowel the guts of the sentence
removing the capital, the prefix,
and the full-stop.
Since evisceration is a noun
we will commence the removal of all nouns
leaving us in a state of .......
that's right nothing.
Not only have we eviscerated the sentence
we have obliterated every word.
I was fortuitous enough
to see the matter of this sentence
disappear into some word black-hole
called the world of evisceration.
There's a little evisceration in all of us.

Now how to bring the sentence back?


Please note:
remarkably, no animal
was hurt in this sentence
because there was no animal
in this sentence.

what a great ending....there were no animals in this picture...so of course, none was damaged or eviscerated ....but i am feeling a heavy heart for those verbs and adverbs that you eliminated...
you should be arrested for "cruelty to parts of speech"
i like the use of grammar or English terms when used cleverly in a poem...and you have the mind and pen to do it.
thanks for the smile, sir.

Thanks so much Jacob, that's a big smile for me too.
Smiling at the uniqueness of this. Reminds me of learning to dissect a sentence in English class. Good thing there was no animal in the sentence! :) Lydi**

As I recall, that was what the Japanese used to do to Chinese POW's. Or was that vivisection?

This line cracks me up to the hilt: "There's a little evisceration in all of us." I envy you on ten different levels with this brilliant little snark piece. Usually I'm not a fan of poems that throw around writing terms becuz its done so often here, but you have left all the other fools in your dust with this . . . this is pure imagination & attitude . . . may you never get writers block, but if you do, feel free to invite us all in to eviscerate your blockage *wink! wink!* One of the best literary poems I've read in a year! fondly, Margie

Thanks Margie one of the best reviews I have received.
Animals are too busy living, now man, we can obliterate a small country in a matter of seconds.
Still good things happening out there, they're just not newsworthy.
