A Bunch of Words and Silliness

Below is my entry into Paul Stewart's Most and Least Favourite Words Challenge. Here's his link. Join in.

----

Paul gave us all a challenge.

It had to do with words.

Why does he put such pressure on me,

that poetic Scottish nerd?

*

Oops. That slipped out. I'm sorry

If I insulted you Paul.

What I really meant to say was that,

You're a pain in the arse - that's all.

*

Hold on! That's not much better.

The hell is wrong with me?

Perhaps I need more coffee,

or, as Donald says, covfefe.

*

Oh dear. Now I'm quoting

an orange-shaded snot.

My poem has gone right off the rails.

It seems I've lost the plot.

*

Not that it ever started well.

The engine's clearly stuck.

Pistons are firing chaotically.

My brain's a clusterfuck.

*

Dear Paul, you're probably regretting

inviting me to your challenge.

But I'm sure you'll get some worthy pieces.

Let's throw this in for balance.

*

"Clusterfuck" and "snot," I'll say

before I bid you adieu.

The hate and love to figure out,

I'll leave that up to you.
