Making Flippy Floppy

I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion. - Thoreau

pawn's in a twisted charade

mannequins marching in a silent parade

neutered and spayed

trying to get laid

trying to get paid

thinking they have it made

framed and hung, upright, exactly as portrayed

a smudged, carbon copy

sprayed, mute words choppy

bald, plastic hair sloppy

lined up like cereal from kellog's corn poppy

wearing corsages from an opium poppy

being pulled by an old jalopy

making flippy floppy

Author's Note

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away" - Thoreau
