Marking Time

Good lingo regards syllabic thrift
With intellection's distinguished forces
Providing the mind a proper sift
Like filtered archeologic sources
Which race all through cerebral nerves
Like Hermes with an Olympic letter
Faring as mastermind hors d'oeuvres
Making the cerebral diet better...
So much better than thoughts with no panache
Which do not serve to keep my wits afresh
Or as antipodal to trailer trash
As the legendary Gilgamesh,
Whose exploits on those tablets of clay
Keep oblivion for another day!
