Drowning in Full Rhymes
*
On being tempest tossed upon a dream,
my feet from off a tiptoe giddy tripped
to tumble into billows gold agleam
ere slowly unto depthless sands they slipped;
where scattered round the continental slope,
arose a frightful wrack of half-rhymes drowned
with heaps of every sort of sunken trope
mid peakèd piles of slime-wooed puns profound;
some bawdy wordplays deep enmired in muck
inestimable gems unvalued stones;
some priceless ice in dead men's sockets stuck
as if to mock the rhymesters' fish-picked bones;
so surfaced I in one quick flutter kick --
my feet sans any bones with fish to pick.
