Summer by the Shore by =mdog02:iconmdog02:





Oh, there has to be a reason
for another boring season
spent with braindead inbred cousins
trudging up and down
in endless search
of stupid lifeless shellfish
on that stupid lifeless shore...

...to endure the petty tortures
of that toady town boy Morris
and be trapped and then regaled
by our dreadful Uncle Boris
while he scratches at his middle
drooling black tobacco spittle
while he spews his horrid stories
of his life before the war...

...and that clingy Auntie Gertie
with her frightful table manners
and her frigid lumpy mashers
and her twitchy shifty gropings
as she tries to steal our pennies
she pretends she hasn't any
but we all know she's a liar
'cause we overheard her talking
'bout her mattress stuffed with money
from her filthy lucre spoils
got by cheating at Gin Rummy...

...but things this year are different
and our visit's been more pleasant
'cause my sibling fancies Morris
and she's busting out all over...
...I encountered Morrie's sister
and her given name is Doris
but she calls herself Alexis
and they say she's just a hooker
but my instincts told me different...
then she had me walking funny...
...now I've got a little blister...

...and we murdered Uncle Boris
and we stewed him like a chicken
then we took what was left over
and we stuffed it into sausage
then we fed our aunt her breakfast
while we emptied out her mattress...

A little rhyme with very little reason...

The preview image ain't much, but you can put a little pizazz in your life by looking at it in full view. =D

I would not be just a nuffin'
My head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry
Life would be a ding-a-derry
If I only had a brain...

Thanks so much. It's a bit different from my usual, and I'm very pleased that you got a chuckle out of it. :)

Different can be good. Different shocks your readers in an entirely different way :D And the preview is good, too, I think. Sometimes less is more :-)

Yeah, I struggled with the preview image a bit. I had the poem mostly written and, as always, I wanted to come up with a suitable graphic. I tried all kinds of things and nothing was really working, nothing was cool. I eventually came up with the idea to play it as an animation in GIMP just to see what it would look like, cycling through all the visible and invisible layers, and I rather liked the result. The funky, silly animation seemed to suit the comedic nature of the poem, so I decided to tackle it from that direction.

Well I think this worked quite nicely indeed :D Animation is the next thing that I will try my hand at, but I first want to learn the basics, which I'm only just starting to become familiar with ... long road but one which I do want to travel down :P
