The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Melt Down

It's funny when it happens

It surprises me even now

People that think they know me

Then gape when I furrow my brow

 

They crossed the line

While thinking the deal was done

But there was something in my voice

Was I serious,or just having fun?

 

I often start off slowly

Repeating what they said

Then peel away their certainty

And fill their heart with dread.

 

You stupid ignorant moron!

Did you think I would smile and grin?

When your words they did offend me

And your manners are mighty thin.

 

There is no happy ending here

You should have stayed in school

As my anger sends you packing

You realize I will not suffer fools.

My ode to telephone solicitors

Wyvern steps into the Banquet Hall wearing a tacky suite covered in glittery green dollar bin symbols and puffy crimson gloves. The reptilian Elder adjusts the gold bar tie that's been knotted too low and tight around his neck, then passes by Silver Wind with a wink and wanders up to Regel. He taps Regel on the shoulder and strikes a sleazy salesman grin.

 

"Cool poem Reg." Wyvern clears his throat and pulls out a parchment that extends to the floor. The document rolls over Regel's feet and continues rolling down the hall with unsettling length. "Lisssten, I have this contract for the development of Almost Dragonic Brand Anti-Solicitor Wards™ and a couple thousand empty signature ssspaces that you might want to take a look at..."

Very nice Regel. Good to see I aint alone in that approach to people making idle stupid comments :)

 

The one thing I found letting the piece down was flow. While the syllable counts are fairly spot on throughout they sometimes negate flow. For instance:

 

You stupid ignorant moron!

Did you think I would smile and grin?

When your words they did offend me

And your manners are mighty thin.

 

perhaps for the 2nd & fourth lines:

 

Did you think I'd smile or grin,

 

And your manners mighty thin.

 

Enjoyed this one. Good work old man.
