my predilection toward effusion
may dismay those not departed
cause affront to taste’s convention
leave apologists half-hearted
warrant thrashings deemed most sound
even by standards presumed modest
instigate revolt profound
and draw the ire of known Jihadists
nonetheless, i persevere
for this is all i have to offer
even if it sparks despair
in devotees of Geoffrey Chaucer
some will find my manner trying
some think it obsequious
those astute are found descrying
how i air somniloquous
their opinions might be worthy
to those of aesthetic merit
but thou must understand, surely
that i am not wont to hear it
therefore, i shall e’er regale thee
with this vomitous onslaught
at a frequency seen daily
leaving thee forever fraught
