Relish Of Mustard (In all things be consistent.)
Great is this posse of one
being many collectively me
gaze upon this humblologist
free from glitter showers
already spent cartridges clink
muted by the starch treated canvas walls
an easel for notional projections
Needed transporter Cheap...
or lease.
In Happy there are still police
that do not take their jobs seriously
they would like to hand you a smile (see you smiled)
Because you knew it would ….oh perhaps mock them
which would be followed by sincerity from all witnesses
they sure got more then expected in Happy County Court
on Glad St. and Snicker Ln. that unflattering day
How it happen?
Nobody could tell you with a straight face
those who could would not under fear of comedy emergence
“Where Humor Comes First!”
However it happened like all things Un-Happy
eventually it went to court (which turned into a circus)
complete with peanut vendors
every newspaper took a cheap shot
at the area behind the author for others not present
some say it went something like below:
Insane accusations of manhood
Sinful Burlesque Follies
Devious yet simple pranks
Jolly tales of humiliation, and exploits
Key Witnesses where in stitches on the stand
Eventually there was a No Moment someone yelled “FOUL”
There was a halt of the proceedings
to ask whether they meant “Fowl”
(which would require no explanation)
or Foul Which would need a punchline
as well as a detour sign
Back to previous tangent
half planned interjections spilled out like overloaded Condiments
a moment to relish…then back before snickering jurors
“How Can this Human Humblologist before you be sane?”
An exaggerated Pregnant Pause
followed by a quized stare
“You the Jury can only judge by his Laughter
his use of nonsequility tangents
puns as well why this man is a…a
A Metaphorical Oracle (in his head).”
"….*wink."
a disgruntle court jester beats his gavel until it splits
“It is plan,for us to see, that this pathetically sensible creature
is mocking us for our mockereous nature... !”
unknown to all present
this one sentence had an effect
quite profound, subtle even
when reviewed in hind sight, research, and probes
such phenomena could only be labeled:
Humility Invective Interuptus
Social Non-phenomenal Intervention
all accounts of the event not
nonsensical or unreadable for review
Tell that,
"That crowd turned into a POLITE RIOT!"
"There sat Mustard, in Relish a Hot Dog among Wieners"
