What is a Meta for?

a metaphor on metaphors

 

What is a Meta for?

I'm doing jumping-jacks, in leather tight slacks

wishing I hadn't eaten those exlax

hand over hand a huge grand stand

trying to be careful just where I land

my mouth's too big I squeal like a pig

sure would like to smoke a strong cigarette

got my head in my a*s showin no class

and you know for sure mine are made out of brass

won't you tell me please just what is a meta for

disguising my words hidden meanings and even more

got my fat tongue flappin my face needs a slappin

my eyes rolling back and my two foots are tappin

try to hide my fear afraid of being left here

my words convoluted I sure ain't no Shakespeare

not nimble enough to do all this stuff

I'm as tough as nails but mushy like a cream puff

my flowers have wilted not I stand here jilted

now this is my side and it's slightly tilted

won't you tell me please just what is a meta for

disguising my words hidden meanings and even more

Love this, great play on Meta for? Maybe if someone looks hard enough 'within' your poem they might figure it out. Great write and fun!

A "meta for" is a great thing to use at times, but what is a "meta for"? What great fun!
