ASSORTED MORONS
I like my morons ordered
I like them in a row
I like to have the worst one first
To tell him where to go
I like to feel their tension-- when
I point out what they've done
I like to crack the whip a bit
If they should try to run
I like to tell or even yell
I think that they're a pain
I like to pray-- for each to play
In traffic in the rain
I like to watch them fidget
I like the time to creep
I like to see that digit
Or hear a brave one bleep
I need them all to beat it
I need them off my lawn
I need them far away from me
Thank God---I think they're gone
I need to change these glasses
It appears the one's still here
Egads, I'm in my bathroom!
I've been looking in the mirror!

EDITED VERSION
Yes, LD that last verse is always a tough nut to crack.Thanks
Thanks Hiram, But the whole idea of the I's, the needs, and the likes was to accentuate the fact that the guy "roughing" up the morons was himself a moron as I believe all of us are at one time or another. The cadence was supposed to be annoying, and moronic. Thanks for the C/C-----william

Last stanza (always the bug-a-boo).
I need my clearer glasses
It appears that one`s in here
It`s now inside my/ the bathroom?
Oh no! It`s in my / the mirror!.................................? (or similar choice).
Thus you get to maintain the
format of the first 3 lines
in each stanza, beginning in the letter `I`..an intense device, here
given also, the not-quite-cruel edginess of this cerebral AND visceral poem.
made more-so by the differing beginning vowels
of the final line in every stanza....kudos...I like this concise version.
Edit: Just re-read as it`s a good poem to ponder,
and see why you might wish it `as is`.
Hmmm..mm..
Your Q...there have been occasions
when I have felt to be a
fully paid-up, card-carrying member of `idiots anon`
though YAPS has certainly cured that: - . *-------& then---------*:) (:

Dr. Seuss is shivering in his boots -- NOT
Define inane and here it takes roots -- WOT?
Meander into phrasing, try it once
and say "I need... I need..." leave for some dunce.
Or maybe go on wretchedly unaware
That Whitman clones stink worse than derriers.
Or maybe, and say, meander, define
I can use unique start lines without blowing your mind, you know;
regurgitated phrases do nothing for minds -- they just blow.

precisely in simple terms such as you and Touzours hate(or are jealous of) Chelsea and AC Milan. besides the undeniable fact that I hate AC Milan, I hate guy U much greater and that i does not hesitate to celbrate while AC Milan beats guy U.
