poetry penitentiary

now pertaining to poems and prose;
perchance we politely persuade,
with this penance that I propose,
in the poetry pig stockade.

condemn, commit and curse for life,
until their penance has been paid;
awful verse that cuts like a knife,
in the poetry pig stockade.

for poets offending our nose,
a punishment must be conveyed,
pedantically punishing prose.
in the poetry pig stockade.

now Polly the Poetry Pig
has pondered our prison blockade,
she’ll make them gulp poems with a swig,
in the poetry pig stockade.

the poor poet’s price will be paid;
no longer will we be afraid,
with our poetry fears allayed,
in the poetry pig stockade.

    love the alliteration

    ...poor bloke listening to that probably wished he could stay in gaol. Ha! Well done. A lot of thought in the vocabulary in this poem.

    Pig is a derogatory term for a police man, but I am sure you did not mean that

    Great humour.

    I love writing silly, fun poetry...It's kinda my way of breaking away from the rudeness reality in our world and presenting our world as being sarcasticly funny and weird. Yup, I'm
