A Silly Sonnet

A silly sonnet? Say it isn’t so!
Say slapstick’s sorry seed we’ll seldom sow
In such a sacred space, tho’ to and fro
Astride such the unseeing masses go!

Involve me not in such unseemly sort ~
Say I should scintillatingly comport
Myself societally, nor resort,
Because I’m so assigned, to simple sport!

How shall I shed sweet sunshine’s ~ (uh) ~ shininess
Shorn shins from sea to shining sea to bless
And steam girls till bikinis to undress
When set to slaving under such duress?

Still, wise ones say ~ nor can I disagree:
“Ser’iousness Is, but Silliness Shall Be!”

Homeless until removal of the stalker/targeter/vandal/arsonist following her allows her to approach any landlord ~ even for a private parking space ~ this poet presently lives under perpetual threat of towing with all possessions should her 23-year-old van stop running for any reason.

She is badly in need of a modest reserve with which to field any emergency which might occur.

Donors may visit http://www.UgiftABLE.com , using code #72D-31S. It does take several days for the poet to be notified of your patronage.
