See if you can find the misused words
in this little bit of nonsense. The winner will be
announced in primetime after the Internet results.

 Centering Around


"All has lost its focus,"
said the piper to the pawn.
The cock is in the crocus,
like dead before the dawn.

Centering around the issue,
failing to get to the point.
Squandering an existence,
lighting up another joint.

Boiling over with hyperbole,
and an idol idiom or two,
metaphorically doing a tiptoe,
on a good old-fashioned boo-hoo.

Irregardless of the circumstance,
of what the pinions pined,
the gates were left so guard less,
regardless who had signed.

Queen was in the counting house,
as gay as she could be.
Loose the belt, let it hang out,
to lose what he could she.

Pompous poet pissed on prose,
but wrote it all the same.
Coloring words in higher tones,
hiding under pseudo-name.

Yin and Yang of then and than,
is often much cornfused.
Along with its and it's,
to keep us all amused.

Punny pundit prophesied,
the coming of the son.
Come mourning, sure as hell,
here comes the sun.

Are we having any fun?

Done.

Cleverly concocted; I appreciate your wit and humor, Ron. Thanks for the smiles (while I get the more serious message as well). Love and peace,

I'm in morning. My idle pissed on the crocus basically killing it and yin literally beat the shit out of yang fighting over a bowl of creamed corn resulting in corndogs. By the way, I find the simple "It's the shits" rule is foolproof in the its vs. it's contest. Patrick

some readers should inform one another of errors through messages

Peace be with you

There are several misspelling of words in thus poem, but the meaning of the poem has not been affected. Great job!!!!!

I like this muchly, Ron. It highlights the ridiculousness of our modern modus operandi in the sense that truth is madder than all the fiction we've fast-fed ourselves in this increasingly hell-bound ship of fools... and it's the entropy of all the verbal 'hot-air' that's sinking us. If I'm way off target in my assessment here, then QED! :) xx

This is a good romp thru the fields of misused words and flaky thoughts.
The sun doesn't bring morning but
mourning might bring it on.
That's the yin and yang of the matter.
It's one of your best.

thank you for your comments on my work. After reading your profile, I can understand where you are coming from, for you have suffered much, physically and emotionally. I, too, know about pain and carry inward scars from life's wounding. I embrace education and have great respect for those who have attained positions in teaching. Where would we be if everyone was like me. You have accomplished much and I applaud the effort you have put forth to reach your station in life. Your choices were personal and your achievements in academia admirable. The point of my poem, which was not posted in the correct format, was the folly of only achieving earthly goals and ignoring the fact that there is a higher calling for humanity beyond this physical life.

Basically, there are no misused words. Just misused lives. People have no appreciation for how unique it is to be alive, let alone live.

I sat and pondered, and scratched my head.
I've read this poem three times.
I still don't understand it,
But I sure enjoyed the rhymes.

When one plays on words it makes the reader stop and ponder, which is fine as long as they know the differences!
Been a long time since I had the privilege of being entertained by your words..Still a great read!
