Things That Go Bump (A Thru O)

     As to 
things goin' "bump!": not a few act Alright -- tho' one
bunch (bumpees bleat) bites -- which brings on The Blight (i.e.,
after alightin,' which seems none too bright.)*
     * “Betht to 
fathen thoth theatbeltth," obtherveth Bett’ D. "Thith will 
thertainly be thuch a 'thpring-bumpy' thpree." 

     Of the  
rest that go "bump!" there be some I might Cite who "tump-
tump" on their trumpets. (They're quite a Delight...till thin 
Dendrite-like shite quits their rumps. Such a sight! 

     Who'd es-
chew things that bump...? Well, an Elamite might. (I'll bet 
Elam* would frown 'n' provide 'em a Fright 'fore he'd 
ever go gentle inside that Good night.) 
     * Actor Jack of the famously ferocious face

     I've eyed
large crops of bumpers who jump from great Height. There's this
Itie who bikes from (he claims) Isle of Wight! There's an
Israelite and a diss'd Jacobite. (To that   
whole kit 'n' ‘boodle, I’m, "Go fly a Kite!"

     As to 
castin' some Light (if they've good Line of sight, all who
qualify Might, even though just a Mite) upon
things -- some in Nighties -- which bump in the Night: well, such
castin' I'd characterize "Outta sight!"

The Sweet Desiderata of Don Juan

Incomplete's Juan's retreat from la Spanglish Armada --
like Rennie's "Repeat: 'Klaatu nikto...Barada'!" 
Or Johann Sebastian Bach's "Coffee Cantata":
its key (half in "'D'ecaf") brews musical Dada.

Much sweeter's Juan's treat of a hot Enchilada --
though sweetest to eat is his hotter Frittata.
Consuming each leaves his personum non grata.
(Fritatas…? Juan’s eaten one hellavalotta!) 

Less sweet...? Taking heat from some street Intifada,
or hearing "Jing, Ja-Da..." from Bull Jake LaMotta,
or getting machete'd by Jomo Kenyatta,
or dancing Lambada with Lenya (Ms. Lotte).

'Tain't neat how elitist Juan's Hari (his Mata)
is fleet to remind him how "'Nada!' means Nada.
(It is neat when sweet teeth enjoy (Omigod!) a
confection-fill'd papier-mache-bound Piñata. 

Sour sweetness -- no sheet! -- binds Tomás TorQuemada
to Twin Towers Terrorist Ringleader Atta.
Such stench can't be quench'd by Juan's "Moonlight Sonata": 
tout suite he'll need beat on their feet a Toccata.

Juan fails at Umbata; hails Dr. Vadata; 
tweets "Wacho's Waldrada beats 'X-[something]-ata.'"
Sweet "blah-blah"s of mine mimic Juan's "Yadda-yadda"...
then Juan hits the streets, bleating "Viva Zapata!"
