TWENTY-TWO


Fix twenty-two delicate rings,

by pounding them with fluffy things.

 

Draw twenty-two silly young brothers,

erasing a sketch of their mothers'.

 

Appear twenty-two parched dusty ovens,

blame it on hydrated Prussians.

 

Faint twenty-two cultured young ladies,

when touring backwaters in Hades.

 

Sneeze twenty-two times but be quiet,

lest you be causing a riot.

 

Opine twenty-two horrible ends,

for those who do not make amends.

 

Renounce twenty-two things making sense,

by tossing them over a fence.

 

Console twenty-two unwanted balls,

by kicking them down empty halls.

 

Impel twenty-two aspiring seats,

to get jobs where the crowds go to eat.

 

Recite twenty-two words in this poem,

that ain't worth the ink that done wrote 'em.
