May as well wrap up this sonnet-heavy week of mine with a little one-two punch.
This is lame, but fuck it, it's Friday.
"Oktoberfest: a Sequence in Two Parts"
Before:
Upon that amber river which I row,
Whose froth laps 'gainst mine beaches and mine coast,
I float; carried on by golden ebb and flow
To drown concerns me not: a tol'rant boast.
The hose of leder sits 'top white sock'd shins,
My head, a mantle now for feathered cap,
Straps clasp, suspending me with golden twins,
Twin eyes for steins have I, I look for pap.
Intoxicating gulf, water sweet and cool,
Perplex'd I find myself upon your banks,
I seek to tarry not here at your pool
And yet, compelled, I fill my parchéd flanks.
I captain well the ship that I love best -
I ride the waters of Oktoberfest.
After:
With loosn'd bowels I've now befouled myself,
And cheers of "Shitpants!" haunt me like a curse;
Eighteen brews and dishes of kraut sauer
Left me weak, and now I spilleth over.
With confidence and swagger I'd approached
From buxom blonde with breasts barely conceal'd,
My op'ning line, "Let's titfuck!" drew a kiss:
My balls her knee did smooch, my berries burst.
My breath, it reeks of bratwurst and spetzel!
My hair is full of vomit, some not mine!
Sweet mercy, save me from this men's room stall,
This heaving cup, take from me, this I beg.
It seems my ship now sails the ocean floor -
And yet next year I'll just come back for more.

I needed to ditch a syllable, an op'ning is shorter than opening.
Besides, heavy apostrophe use in poetry is usually just bullshit posturing. And I'm all about bullshit posturing in poetry.
The way I see it...the more legit/genuine and/or ridiculous I can make these look and sound, the more fun people will have with them.
Glad you enjoyed.

It kind of bothers me how you take out Es like no other. I understand..maybe..if the "ed" is emphasized in a word like...I can't think of any right now...but op'ning? That's kind of weird. Anyway, don't take any of this seriously, I'm just a pussy bitch with nothing to do. It was good either way.

Make that "A buxom blonde with breasts barely conceal'd" not "From buxom blonde..."
