Don't open
The door
Nor window
Uncover
The bird
Sings for
Its mother
Your voice
Would
Smother
Its ancient
Cant
Even if
Silent
You are
Unable
To recant
The avian
Cry
So just
Don't try

Is the pattern
Of a keyboard
Visually
Static
But 
Erratic
Unusually
A sword
While pens learn

The jab
Or the slab
Just blab blab blab

Check your mouth
Not in silence
But to realize
That in silence
You cannot control 
The muscles
Which you made mute

You won't speak
Or make absolute 
What’s on your mind
So resolute
But defied
By your essence
So you lied

You won't mutter
An internal truth
Making you an utter
Age of eternal
Stutter
As long as grammar
Deep in you does creep

Combine a haiku
With a limerick
For a snafu

Do you think
That Shakespeare
Would shrink
Make curses disappear

When home
Or at a pub
Not like his poem
But without a flub

Make speech
So vile
It would reach
The aisle

Where the 
Matron
Said augh
I’m done

Moustaches
And eyes
Match
Each cries
Dispatches

The status quo
Although
Slatch
Is stronger
For a monger

Of bizarre music
Quizic
Hatch
And zap
Gabie’s rap

An obverse angel
Arrives
Good Friday
Why
Cannot it not
Be my way?

Well
They say
And tell
Today
Is not for you
To be true

Your way
Is to stay
At peace
Consider
A space
Lacking disgrace

Worse
It could be
So adverse
To see
An enemy
Inside me

It is rare
For a composer
Of note
Being able to
With words
Create literature

Similarly
Writers
Of profound 
Literacy
Can’t score
But rest in footnotes

The one
Who could arrange
But never learned
Composition
Mixed sound and meaning
To chant poetry
