Goin' for Broken (Past)

     Are there 
aught that can can-can 
while corn row'd…? Our Bo* can,
whose actions of late...?
Given over to...boinkin,'
which just goes to show 
how our planet’s been broken.
 
     * Derek, i.e.
 
     Who can 
Bray, "Hate-fill'd honkeys: 
Be happy!"...? Glenn Beck can.
Beck's brews make Fox News: 
"Dopplebunk in one's beer can."
What better to show 
how our plan’s badly broken...?
 
     In these 
circles of hell, tell me: 
"Where shines a beacon...?"
What comes with my scramble's 
no rashers of bacon:
such cola* just show: 
"La! 
La planet's been broken."

     * Per cola and commata -- 
i.e., through clauses and phrases.
 
     What sur-
vives global warming...? 
One boasts, "Bot'ny Bay can!"
Glenn Gould's good at rags, 
tho' Glenn does throw some Bach in:
Lord knows that this shows 
how our planet's bent, broken.
 
     Howard's 
hawk can't make honey. 
Here's hoping his bee can.
Where's home run's first home...? 
In New Jersey (Hoboken):
Such hoopla helps hon
how our planet's been broken.
 
     Who
rows 'roun’ the Rhine 
lettin' Loreleis beckon…?
Astraddle my Schwinn, 
like the win' I’ll be bikin.'  
I'd barter for cousins 
but never would buy kin --
all go but to show 
how our planet be broken.
 
     There’s
bakin,’ there’s balkin.’ 
There’s bookin’ and buckin.’
There’s “Back in!” There’s Bic kin. 
There’s barkin’ and bulkin.’
There’s Birkin the handbag 
and Birkin the Jane.
All go but to show 
our earth’s broken terrain.
 
     There’s
Balkinization 
(there’s Balkins, as well).
There’s brakin.’ 
There’s kin, both of bear and of boar.
There’s Boykin the spaniel, 
with damp-doggie smell.
Our planet’s so broken, 
I’m sure there's lots more.

“Oy!” of “Olé!” (Past)

Enjoy (I must!) 
your OyyoFest, my boy!
(You hold ‘tis held 
in an arroyo…? Oy!)
 
Fast food for Friday: 
Friday’s feast…? Fried hay -- 
fried hay which may
at last, my vast hide fray.   
 
There’s oodles (Ouch!
of ‘O’s that act like echos.
And look: those 'O's 
spot crooked rooks and geckos.  
 
I'd land (Avast! Ahoy!
on odd O Island --
which land's, though high and dry, 
not nigh to my land.

to summer dress shirts.     
Dessert…?  Deserted doughnuts 
dunk’d in deserts.
 
One two-day leave, eh…
Yay! Let's leave today!
Has Herman, unarm’d, 
harm’d her, man…? Ole!
