Blasphlegmic Guilt


 



Dig my hole.
Plant me raw.
Squander words replete.
For though I was the best of friends
I lie - now - beneath this sheet.

Ethered fingers
Shattered gums
Bloated lips of gray
I’m chilled throughout my moral coil
With nothing warm to say.

Hassidic indigestion
With a touch of lice malaise
Maggotries ingesting.
Cloven leeches fall away.

Fester, fetid foul fish funk!
Your sepsis steeps a stench.
May schmucks erupt each putrid pore
And leave a schmear of mensch.

    A bit of morbid morgue humor I found quite amusing. This one does anything but stink. Wonderful alliteration and clever vocabulary. Thanks for directing my here.

    Sincerely,
    Leo Long

    happy...... dying .......to..... you

    One little question for you, lucky. 'Did you try this for practical?'. i am 'dead' serious. The next time you write stuff like this, please do mention if you have imagined it or taken time off from your sleep in the grave to complain about your discomfort to the authorities.

    Blasphlegmic! Great word – another feast of sounds and euphony… why wasn’t I here reading before? Better slate than never. And Like Nando says – kosher with it lol.

    Devilishly creative. I think it also helped that I've been in not a few morgues, seen a few autopsys and have at least a passing acquaintance with Yiddish.

    Yowwwwwwch! Can I help you remove those?
    Even with all those pricklies, you've still managed to return such a smile to my face with your trickling words that tickle. Heebie geebies, indeed.

    a joy as always, Kyla!!!! Thank you.

    Cooweee! Wow! Onelucky girl
    You really made me smile!
    I love the stinking attitude..
    Sent ripples through my bile!
    So you've got the Hebrew-geebies?
    Wonder what set of this spark?
    No matter really what's to blame
    Coz your blasphemy's an art!!

    Jane this one tickled the tongue Like Sabras prickles!
    Excellent!

    It seems ageing has its own dimension. At 54 sometimes I too feel like you.

    Oh man, I'm dying. I hope this isn't an indication of mood, cuz then I might have to feel bad for loving it so much. That alliteration is just destroying me. I'm crying over here.

    Oh my! This was deliciously ghoulish. Not in the morbid sense, but in a is-it-dead?-poke-it-with-a-stick sense. (If you can follow that sort of logic.) You do have a way with words.

    So I was sent to read this...
    I must say it reminds me of something I would find in a plastic container at the back of my fridge... You know you shouldn't, but you just open the lid anyway... and then wow sensory overload...
    now I am not comparing this to the contents of said container mind you, but the fact that you know that it is only going to be something funky and you go there anyway...
    I will be back to read more later...

    Thanks for noticing, Nando. In my childhood neighborhood, no one could compete with the wonderful guilt inducing sounds of Yiddish. Oy vey!

    A sordid scenario hold sway o'er the swoon -
    This turgid tale has got me all giddy-ish.
    It could be the ether that's spinning the room,
    Or, perhaps, its just all the Yiddy-ish.

    Shalom!

    Dear Jane,
    All I can say is that you must have been in a "stinker" to have written this! Puts me in mind of Hieronymus Bosch and I don't like his paintings either!
    Although, as usual I can admire the smart use of words I would refrain from wounding your sensibilities by printing the adjective that springs to mind when I come to comment on their choice.
    Love and hugs, XXX Hugh.

    LOL...oooh...that was DISGUSTINGLY fun to read! Yeah, and that line of 'Fester, fetid foul fish funk' was fabulously funny and fiendish! lol Really, you squeezed every last black drop of demonic devilry in this and it was both vastly entertaining and incredibly clever. This gets two ghoulish thumbs from this twisted soul!
