venter, ventilate

Why did the raspberry chocolates taste like yogurt covered raisins?
tea whistling from the brass kettle


mystique in fury, I suppose
haven't the time insured
hours, years of preparation, dedication
no avail! I remind you - she moped about with small aches
vicinal prime! celebrate, they wailed - the baleful ale succumbs
sum becomes obscure
my senses oppose; she chose the shows, prose unsure
to compose the details and glory of a rose
the thorn, bitter and bitten beneath the veil
importance ignored as a cataract sees a cataract creeping
born on the back of a whale
for the lucid tale which tells about the pale moppet and her pearl
wrecked in her gut because she wouldn't unfurl her thought
