Satirical Poems Quotes

“Patience Thinner by Stewart Stafford

You are a pain in the pancreas,
Dagger in my medulla oblongata,
The hindmost listing straggler,
In the mind's eye's neural regatta.

The second wheel of a unicycle,
The third eye blind of a cyclops,
Banana skin for a monkey's uncle,
And a barber to overgrown mops

You are thermals in a heatwave,
An umbrella when the rain stops,
A quiet tailor in a nudist camp,
And shoe polish for flip-flops.

“....with thimble and thread
And wax and hammer, and buckles and screws,
And all such things as geniuses use;
Two bats for patterns, curious fellows!
A charcoal-pot and a pair of bellows.”
― John Trowbridge
