a pathetic poet

in a not-so-amusement park
I take a ride on un-merry-go-round
and it goes anti-clockwise
making my top spins round and round

when it stops, stops, stops
I feel like want to drop, drop, drop
until a clown starts to hop
on a floor while looking at the clock.
and I begin to puke my words out
with some additional fragrance.
yet the clown stuns and shout,
"you are pathetic ignorance!"

The clown mourns my show
as the clown knows where to go
avoiding a weak yet useless son
who runs a life - a mind-boggling one.
