The black plague of all black mail
lines my black cat’s black shit-pan
accenting blackish turds with its
black-hearted threats
leaving an already bleak day
black as night
blackened soles
scuff at black-tar streets
as my swollen black eye
temporarily winks
at black and blue bruises
radiating black thoughts
at a ruffled black bird
ruining a semi-quiet
morning cup of black coffee
a black-haired fiend
with pouty black-cherry lips
shouts black propaganda
at a black and white clad waitress
who was silently thinking
of malicious black deeds
while waiting to down rum and coke
to black-out the nagging headache
of today’s black comedy

Let me see, "black shit pan, and blackish turds, such a
precocious beginning, however you delivered quite nicely. The ending is perfect! Geo

Thanks. I was in need of disspelling some facetiousness.

I don't think I've ever seen "black" used this much outside of Nick cave and the Bad Seeds' "black hair"...
You did lose me a bit with "blackish turds" though! Nah... Not really. I gotta say, this lightened my "black" mood somewhat. If you wonder why I'm feeling black, check out my lousy most recent post! Black blackity black black black...

Yeah I was in a very facetious mood and usually find myself out leasing it in... odd ways.
glad your mood is somewhat alleviated
