What Nonsense

Why are tables of elements periodic?

Can they not have consistency?

Regularity is a good thing

Just ask your bowels

A word, by the way, that rhymes with vowels

I quite fancy them in conjunction with

Consonants

I also like reading the works of Thomas Wolfe

Who was human and not in a pack

Which is something you do before a trip

Unless its the kind where you fall down

The other Fall is a season

But not one for cooking meat

Which as a vegetarian I never do

A word, mind you, that is a homophone of dew

I do not refer there to a gay telephone

Not that I would tell a phone anything at all

And that’s all I wrote

(Except for this rather long parenthetical bit

which could amuse and bemuse if I ever manage

to get to the point which is unlikely given that I have

none)

Actually that reminds me of a funny story 

That could serve as an addendum 

To what I’ve written so far

And in fact would be but now I’ve forgotten the story

Something about punctuation and sentences

Or being sentenced to punctuate

Maybe a semi colon was involved

Or a quarter colon 

Or an intestinal one

(Took a lot of guts to write that)

Anyone mind if I stop now?

Yes, I’m presupposing that someone has read this far

Or that far

Far be it from me to presume

Or exhume

Or resume

I best be off now.....
