ard dent

a fat guy makes a rainbow in his yard

with thumb on hose-end mist w/disregard,

then prisms turn to dewdrops. abelard

abandons eloïse; a cruel dis card.

they’re many poet laureates, and disbarred

attorneys quote them. it’s a vile canard

to deal a friend on wings of mallards. hard

enfardeling a rhyme that leaves it jarred.
