Go Ahead and Read This Aloud, I Dare You To

Well we wonder whether whither
We will wander will amaze,
For fair fallow fields of flowers
Fully fascinate the gaze

Hour after alluring hour —
Are our hearts ardent enow? —
Strolling sweetly through the strewn
Sibilence of grassy noon

Sharing sweetest syllables
Sensible sensitive tells
Scare and timor sternly quells:
Feather on faint frothy swells

Easily easing easefully
East, to — whate’er there be East
When I am gazing — um — East of me
(Not looking there for West, at least)

Oh, holy moley, Joe frijole
Cauldron bake and roly poly
— Apparently, I am solely
Destined to be on the dole-y!

Precious paucious poesy
Pertinent — perhaps pert — be
Elevating irritation with’ringly within
Sensitive portions of your skin

Might do more easily without ~
Trite truth, forsooth, such find uncouth
(No, really; worse than bad Vermouth)
The poet’s habit of alliteration!
