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.

Maybe next time. I'll go and read Blade's work to see real crap. Or not.
