Array ( [sid] => 100212 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => A Mordant Elegy [time] => 2005-07-05 16:21:00 [hometext] => (Still ranting...not directed at anyone specific) [bodytext] => You implement your compliment
With intent to patronize.
Do you believe I can’t perceive
Or would not recognize?

Your ‘battery of flattery’
Leaves much to be desired.
You lack the skill and wit, yet still
You relish what’s transpired.

You want to play? Let’s repartee-
Let’s have a little fun.
My cleverness and adroitness
Shall finish what’s begun.

I’m a chasm of sarcasm
With wry witticism
As soon you’ll find; I don’t take kind
To snide criticism.

On occasion, as dissuasion,
I’ll painstakingly provide
Spectacular vernacular
Appropriately applied.

I’ll cut you short with each retort
I have no empathy
And when I’m through I’ll pen for you
A mordant elegy.

I must say this is an excellent poem
so much said in so few words.
I'm so glad you commented on my poem cause if you didn't I might have never got the chance to read such "Great Poems"

Hats off to the poem with a rapier wit and sarcasm to boot.


A different taste for the evening, and one I like
