The Ode that never was (Villanelle) by Shardik
"Why are these street signs in Morse code?" (I was on my way to pay the tax man when) I made a right turn, down the wrong road. Like my state of mind needs this added load? "Excuse me Maam, may I ask you a question?" "Why are these street signs in Morse code?" The woman seemed distant, in a strange mode. Mumbling something about letting them syphon. I made a right turn, down the wrong road. I tried to remember if I had licked a toad? When up rolled a mad four wheeled orphan. "Why are these street signs in Morse code?" All he said was, "Screw pirgayte LeChoadke!" Then he went into a pub dubbed the "Lions Den" I made a right turn, but down the wrong road. If I was a poet I would've made this an ode. (But 'twould be ignored, and not get a ten) "Why are these street signs in Morse code?" I made a right turn, down the wrong road.

Up the ladder: My Son is...a prayer.
Down the ladder: Skin

Oh...I really wanted to be sarcatic and rename it the Ode that never should have been...but it's actually quite funny.
Maybe next time. I'll go and read Blade's work to see real crap. Or not.

Oh, but please change "would of" to "would have". Please.

Durst you bespatter the Good Name of Pirgayte LeChoadk with this tawdry example of post-apocalyptic incontinence!? A pox on thee!

I am not a post apocalyptic poet. Jared Leto is, apparently. I have a moog synthesizer and a theramin processor, I'm pre-apocalyptic w/whip cream ala' rainbert sprinklai, kind sir.
may you fall from a cliff for many seconds out of the field of view until a poof of dust...well, poofs!

Neat-O, amusing, different, and worthy. Here's a nine, for the sake of the signs in Morse code.
