Skid Mark Art

Trying to shape my words
to appeal to the tastes
of the majority

it works about as well
as teaching an old dog
tricks he already knows

besides,
if I should win
that mark of acceptance,
then I have truly lost

inspiration strikes
like a chili fart
not wise to force it

but sometimes I still
squeeze one out for fun
and then toss the pair

so I'll leave this here
so that all of you
can get a good whiff
