Caramel Cribbage-Board
Keeping pace on cobbled lanes,
Cannibals consenting
Cannibus consuming,
Beating gates to ward off thanes
Roisterers relenting
Keeping time to all good beats,
While the squares are fuming
Cannibus consuming,
Keeping pace on cobbled lanes;
Hannibal's repenting
Thwarting sins of younger days,
Volunteers beheading;
Beating eggs to keep the piece
While the squires are grooming.
Stealing Time from Precious Ours,
Capitals espousing,
Lower case arousing,
Taking still the sulpiride
And the lithium sulphate,
Egging on the Keeper's niece
Acrid winged eel fingerlings.
Saving face in troubled times,
Calipers relaxing
Junipers reacting,
Poets prophylacting
Trying not to do a crime,
Lest the poem end with slime.
Enough! You're overacting!
Exciting! Exacting!
They say I'm OVERACTING?!
There once was a lady named Charmaine
Who sniffed the occasional cocain,
The mess that it made of her brain
Neurons miszooming
Poetry consuming
Keeping the scheme proved too much of a strain
