Yours truly embarks on wild goose chase after elusive pot of gold

CATEGORY

romance

Views: 61

two alternate titles:

1. Gander seeking goose that laid the golden egg
2. Incorrigible lottery dreamer
linkedin with previous poem I wrote

though modesty deters
crafty, lofty, nifty, thrifty... wordsmith

and Perkiomen Valley poet

i.e. yours truly quietly to gloat.


If lady luck smiles on me denote
big plans to relocate self and spouse
to some tropical island paradise
by the dashboard light

(the above line credited

to musician named Meatloaf)

upon arrival of my steamer
rather Ferry large boat.

 

A fool's errand finds me

emptying out billfold,

especially as the winnings

increase ...fivefold, sixfold,

sevenfold, eightfold, ninefold, tenfold...

ample resources to remould
living nonestablishmentarian existence
surrounded courtesy webbed, wide wold.

 

Paradise visage and eyes
a bulge with dollar signs

whets imagination with
Mega Millions ticket bought

for potential wealth

overtakes rational self

with delusions of grandeur caught

allow, enable and provide flirtation

with fate to experience rich draught

envision emancipation proclamation

from penury a distant battle fought

 

expect the usual outcome

after next drawing

to yield monetary naught

temptation for instant
mega millions eagerly sought

human foible to reach

until life lesson taut

for elusive pot of riches

streak of universal desire

and tacked clear of shoals,

where hard scrapple existence wrought.

 

This poor man's pipe dream

nsync with the milkmaid and her pail

where fanciful notions pluck me out
being day late and dollar short

essentially pennilessness in the extreme

story of mein kampf fortune teller
also known as Zoltar speaks machine

said contraption did foredeem

substantiated, kickstarted, corroborated...

courtesy an archenemy Joaquim

(fiend nixed) and his tall sidekick Kareem

both rogues could shine
figuratively impregnable longerbeam

and discern mine ill fate.

 

Meanwhile creative endeavors

and linguistic pleasure

thru the literary attempt

suitably with poetic third eye blind

palliative, yet less rewarding versus

garnering large sum of money

would be a dog send
allowing, enabling, and providing
arrogant stance where proletariats deigned

delivered by one blessed angel in disguise

redemption and salvation

considered thankful find

with challenges or commiserate


courtesy poverty that doth grind

and complement via words of positive kind

feeble attempt where words synchronize

readers may espy hidden puns
(and divine inspiration - ha)

within this rhyme lined

to pry poem or prose from mind

deliberate semblance to communicate

and extract idea from cranial rind

analogous how stitcher doth tightly wind

a tapestry of rich and royal hue

while twittering and tweeting

“better luck next time.”
