Oh sir, please excuse my hair, if you will,
"Keep it real" is what I have always believed in,
Also the wind has been bothering me of late,
Trying to make my hair askew, which I *really* hate.
Yes sir, the candles I *can* manage all alone,
They work a charm which to no mortal is known,
By the witch of the bathroom I was given that,
Who said "be still and they never blow out", and that was that.
Yes sir, people stutter hard - whenever its me they see,
The lady of the dark nights is what they call me,
Or is it the lady of the dark knights? - I am not sure,
Depressingly - of the stutter many are never cured.
"This must be a dream", I hear you say,
Your stutter so bad, you can't even pray,
But Sir, I assure you, I intend no harm,
And its not because I am a creature of the crayons.
Author notes
The contest calls for "happy" poems ( among others) . Though this is not out and out happy - the humor intended may serve as a seasoning in that regard ( I hope so ).
I my yet add another stanza if the poem is seen wanting by the 20 lines minimum rule.

At many places the verb order has been tinkled with towards to get rhyme; What difference does it make ?

Fantastic write...
I thoroughly enjoyed it.... Setting the rules as minimum of 20 lines was intentional... I wanted my poets to ask question, why can't be lyric so short... ... Rather putting forth a question, this poem breaks the rules and sets an example...First stanza rhymes well....Lines 7 & 8 Example for Weak rhyming...Poem looks & sounds good overall...Good write
Thanks for sharing
love
