I'm a hyphenated man
Half-walking, semi-erect
High-fund-aided and ill-tempered
Fully-throttled and a quarter-kami-kaze
***
I am semi-colonic, but full-stomached
Half-witted, but level-headed
Half-brothered and mother-smothered
Full-bodied but not-so-fasted
***
Hell-bent but demi-godlike
In quasi-divinity and hyper-salinity
A woman-stalker and sweet-talker
In a tongue-tied merry-go-round
***
I fast-walk, semi-running willy-nilly
High-fiving my half-hearted,
Red-handed, yellow-bellied, green-eyed,
Red-blooded, purple-people-eating color-blindness
***
I high-tail it, second-run in first-place
Coma-toes and topsy-turvy googley-eyed
In uncommon-sensical yet non-rational
Gobble-D-Gook-D-licousness
***
I'm a part-time also-ran
Ne'er-do-well Johnny-come-lately
Penny-wise and dollar-foolish, hip-deep into harass:
A should-be compound-worded hyphenation

Gobble-D-Gook-D-licousness. I had so many lines that I liked but I knew this was my favourite when I reached it! This was such clever and creative poem!
Great work! Fantastic!
