Hippity-Hop

by Ken Harnisch

A splurge, and a dirge

Who knows what will emerge

When you try to write it down

Or maybe even fight it down

Compression, repression

Maybe a depression

A liar inspires

Starts poetic fires

Burning the night oil

Feeling your blood boil

Watching the words form

Keeping your hate warm

Letting all invective

Be less than selective

Who cares if it’s defective

It’s reeling, a feeling

To you it is appealing

To slay the wandering lover

Til you discover, uncover

The thing that made him rotten

Is something you’ve forgotten

But he keeps it flaming

Blaming, the same thing

You had done to you

You were doing too

‘til he caught you, honeydew.

So here’s the skinny, grab it

Now that you’re a rabbit

Getting in the habit

Hippity-hop, baby.

Hippity-hop

haha! this is great!*starts to dance as well* there is a definite rhythm, but if you read closely it's much more:-)

Interesting... poem... I like the rythem.. but me thinks like the rest.. that there is much more here than that. Well Done!

I can only imagine the amount of work that went into the making of this wonderful piece, to make it came out so smooth. Nice work Ken. Peace...
