ostentatious scribble dee fop
by K.C. Wilder
a travesty of small proportions,
condescends “my poems ingenius!”
blind to how his talents dangle
something like a flaccid penis.

his pen’s a stick uh licorice
tied in self-important knots …
ostentatious scribble dee fop!

bish bang boom bama loo bama lay
married to his monstrous ego,
screwed up in ten million ways …
ostentatious scribble dee fop!

i’d be first to compliment
a skillfully rendered piece he's done,
but nowhere in this galaxy is
the slightest hint of one.

my suggestion … to break free from
the fingernail-on-blackboard
tortures he calls poetry

invoke some grand assailant …
a punitive divinity,
pray for it to steamroll
to dispatch him expeditiously!

toxic sprays of imagery
spewed out irresponsibly
like dick cheney with birdshot,
ostentatious scribble dee fop! 1


____________________________________________

1 This poem is primarily concerned with the unfortunate ubiquity of bad poets and bad poetry, a condition which shamefully constricts and in many instances completely eliminates opportunity for actual craftspeople.  This shameful reference also brings up the crimes of dick cheney.   Let us not forget that in addition to his crimes of invading a sovereign nation (iraq) and then lording over an extensive, systematic program of government-sanctioned torture, dick c. also personally picked up a rifle and blasted a fellow hunter while on a hunting trip in 2007.  He has managed to get away with all of this law-breaking without even the remotest chance of his being brought to justice, demonstrating clearly that in the u.s. there are actually two sets of law – 1. the commonly accepted law that applies to commoners and 2. a secret, deceitful set of laws that permits the ruling class to run roughshod over everyone else.
