Directors filming crowd scenes
urge their extras, ”Start your walla!”
“Peas ‘n’ carrots…” 
(Pisan carrots…?)
“Peas ‘n’ carrots…”
while pirates drafting treasure maps
who lack incentives holla',
“Keys ‘n’ parrots…” 
(Quays ‘n’ parrots…?)
“Keys ‘n’ parrots.”

      Moral:
When photo shoot flies skull ‘n’ bones,
'twill go the route of Davy Jones.

My old man’s a racist.
Whatch y'all think about that...?
He dons a dog ear’d collar.
He sports a MAGA hat.
Obese in biker’s leathers,
he walks in no man’s shoes.
And every day of every year
he retweets racist views.*
And someday, in the Klan,
I’m gonna be a racist, 
the same as my old man.

     * Some mss replace this line with
"And, come what may, you can't but
hear him sing a racist's blues," but
all are early drafts.

As old as the ‘algia’s 
and as ugly as ‘-aholic.’    

‘-esque’ and the world ‘-esque’s with you; 
‘-ish’ and you ‘-ish’ alone.

He's got his ‘-ance’ 
between his ‘-acity.’

All for ‘-cracy’ 
and ‘-cracy’ for all!

We’re not ‘-ectomy’ing at you, 
we’re ‘-ectomy’ing with you.

     (More "Suff'rin'" to come: a work in progress.)
