"Articulate douchebag"

Simper, slowly
Get to know me...
Extend the olive branch

Simper, comely
Now you know me...
So take off your pants

I always was a quick one
I always was so bright
Tempestuous and lonely
Some wine to start the night

"Fian"

The creed proceeds the need indeed
But there’s no time to tame the steed
The freed agreed my toast of mead
But there’s no rhyme for men as we
Brimming mugs and ruddy faces
You find them in so many places
Grinning thugs and muddy spaces
The battles left so many traces
We all explain the war to you
We all estrange from four to two
When deranged the war was new
Once was plain and then it grew
Fights aren’t good for academics
Nights aren’t good for those in church
But if you try to speak to us
Might smash your face into the dirt

Esoteric Lancelot
Haven’t shaved since we first fought
Next the cleric blessed the spot
Always shaved and always taught
“Men there is a God for you
He is not old and is not new
He always wants to wait for us
Invented every prayer and cuss"
I spat my juice and thought a bit
“Preacher, you can’t teach me shit”
I took the bread and then I bit
“Teacher, where’s the grit in it?”
He looked at me and knew it true
I left him with a poignant clue
I could be saved and later was
But first I sobered from the buzz

"Jargon"

choice patois
a culture's stroke
it gives them words
it lends them hope
forgot argot
a culture's past
when Dick was Rich
when bum was ass

vernacular
in many ways
is the fiber
of the days
spectacular
were ancient plays
but can you follow
words on stage?

need footnotes
for ancient text
Beowulf
or Dante's heck
we want to strive
for every next
or stay the same,
forget the rest!
