'Order, ahem, order,'
Bellowed the sour faced Judge
'please, sir, make your point.'
'I am through.'
Scowled the devil Prosecutor
who's not really a bad guy
but he's the devil- so we don't like him
'I would like to call the defendant,
Mr. Beatrix Rabbit,
back to the stand for cross examination then.'
Shouted the Judge, pounding his gavel merrily
And up came poor Beatrix
His large top hat flattening his ears
sporting a long cane and snazzy tailcoat
to be questioned viciously by the Prosecutor
[see line six]
as to his alibi at the time
madam's cabbage was took
'In the blackest city!' Beatrix declared
'Where everything is black, except for the
buildings, which are white!
Probably to compensate.'
'Enough.'
Shouted the Judge
'Cease this nonsense, discontinue your babble!
'I'm tired of this, bailiff, take him away!'
'Nooo!' Wailed Beatrix
Tears running down his fur cheeks
[to the audience: Awww!]
In the blink of an eye!
Candyland's fabled 'bad guy'
made an appearance, the Jury gasped
'You!' roared the Judge, 'Last year,
you left footing the bill!'
Count Liquorice,
[To the unsuspecting audience: Gasp!]
Sent Beatrix back home
A snap of his magician's fingers and
Beatrix disappeared into his top hat
And along came the Hatter [mad that is]
Who tossed him onto the end of his stack
Chaos and Mayhem erupted
In the cranky Judge's court
'Order! Order!' he barked, rising his girth
Which only caused the neighborhood dogs
To join in
The Judge sat back down in his chair
And rubbed his temples
He whispered to his bailiff to call in the officials
To take Beatrix away
As this was obviously grave misconduct
And Beatrix would most definitely need
To be taken into custody
But clever Beatrix
Was no where to be seen

Skye Ze! What a great poem. You use an exadurated story full of wonderful chaos and cleverly placed contradiction in order to bring light to the perpetuality of the human comedy. I could be reading too far into it, but that's what I got from it.

I like to write about controversial, sometimes offending, topics. Make the humorous and whatnot to attract a wider audience. I'm glad you liked it though. I happen to think you're incredibly talented yourself Mr. Dark and Depressing.

This is quite original in nature, I've never rad anything like this before; but i have to say that I really did enjoy it once I cauht on.Thank you for expanding my horizons. -
That was awesome! Really, I dunno what to say! That was a lot of fun to read. Quite funny, too, and as you've probably noticed from my style, I'm used to dark and complicated things, so I have to admire that you can add humour to poetry.
"Scowled the devil Prosecutor

but he's the devil- so we don't like him"
I really liked that, just a casual summary of Christianity, I think, there
Well done. You certainly have more talent than respect can give.

Very good
