Half a croissant, on a plate, with a sign in front of it saying '50c'

The Bakyr

Bakyr Bakyr eyes so bright,
Thinking hard into the night,
What ethereal bone or bun,
Will answer the idea you've spun?

In what distant thoughts or dreams,
Bake the croissants of thine schemes?
Or whom will halt what thee aspire?
And soundly present fish-filled ire?

And what science, & what art,
Could twist synapse and twist heart?
And when thy heart begins to beat,
What machine to decorate feet?

Or what device to waylay rain,
Is baking slowly in thy brain?
Shoes of chocolate, monkeys taught,
To retrieve balls from tennis courts!

When the fishbones come with jeers
And water keyboard with your tears:
Did you smile your work to glimpse?
Did you who've double-bunned make this?

Bakyr Bakyr eyes so bright,
Thinking hard into the night,
What ethereal bone or bun,
Will answer the idea you've spun?

       Nice. I've been suffering from poetry withdrawals.   

       Looks like your apostrophes got trashed in your pasting.
RayfordSteele, Aug 23 2004
  

       It's a language's catastrophe
when its apostrophes are let atrophy,
for an apostrophe's place is sacred,
In El Pedanto's narrow view.
When the apostrophers' society,
sworn to apostolical sobriety,
meets at St. Paul the Sacred's,
each Tuesday, sharp, at two.
  

       They'll abjure the habit rural,
of misplaced third persons plural,
any time when he the subject,
may not know (their) place in things.
They'll declare (its) sheer apostasy
to omit just one apostrophe,
for they meet in Jesus's community hall,
To forge arrows, barbed, and slings,
  

       It often causes quite a ripple
to misplace a participle,
"A woman was killed by a mountain lion
out jogging yesterday."
They all ensure that they're there with their
high horses and thesauruses,
correcting metaphors and archaisms,
with abandon, left, right and gay.
  

       Please visit the eponymous
Pedants Anonymous:
An idea posted well before
its true allotted time.
And if you should misuse a conjunction,
you'll be ribbed without compunction,
by the likes of El Pedanto,
for your petty, little crime.

       Stop it, you're slaying me......Ok, can you send me a map to the meeting place?

       It's just past the conjunction, on mainstream.

       The punctuation in this is odd because it emulates the original work from which it is 'inspired.' Of, course normally, my punctuation; is perfect.

       I was just commenting on the fact that the things showed up as question marks originally...
RayfordSteele, Aug 24 2004
  

       I know, thanks for pointing them out to me (fixed now!). I was just justifying any other punctuation anomalies.

       I was just being a smartarse. Blake was a genius.

       Wasn't he that guy that "offed" his wife, and used to have a parrot sitting on his shoulder?
