Paintry
I shall not piss
until I write this poem
it can burn my leg
stain the carpet
poison someone's breakfast
seeping through the ceiling below
I will not weaken
or stop to brush my teeth
until I write this poem
they can morph
into black stumps
strangling me with pain
until my dentist
grows rich enough
for early retirement in Florida
I will not eat
until I write this poem
even if my cheeks
sink hollow
meet in the center of my tongue
and my belly swells
so I can't see the keyboard
only its navel's
Grand Canyon yawn
I will not take a shit
until I write this poem
my turds can bloat upwards
forcing themselves
out of my mouth
like demented pythons
pouting greedy for their dinner
I will not panic
if the whores of rhyme
come galloping
while I write this poem
I shall resist them and fight
That rhyming dictionary
can flare in hell
before I bend
to its seductive power
So I thank the God of poetry
this poem was a quickie
and all the pain of writing
only took about one hour
until I write this poem
it can burn my leg
stain the carpet
poison someone's breakfast
seeping through the ceiling below
I will not weaken
or stop to brush my teeth
until I write this poem
they can morph
into black stumps
strangling me with pain
until my dentist
grows rich enough
for early retirement in Florida
I will not eat
until I write this poem
even if my cheeks
sink hollow
meet in the center of my tongue
and my belly swells
so I can't see the keyboard
only its navel's
Grand Canyon yawn
I will not take a shit
until I write this poem
my turds can bloat upwards
forcing themselves
out of my mouth
like demented pythons
pouting greedy for their dinner
I will not panic
if the whores of rhyme
come galloping
while I write this poem
I shall resist them and fight
That rhyming dictionary

before I bend
to its seductive power
So I thank the God of poetry
