Gloomsday:
The aphelion of Bloomsday. Coined by Senan Molony.
Gloomsday Cannot Stay
Days give way to decay,
And December’s Gloomsday
Is a frosty midnight moon,
Far from bright mid-June.
Then fall falls, and spring does spring
From winter’s old, cold cling.
So the calendar churns,
And time’s candle burns.
But Gloomsday cannot stay,
Every day is Bloomsday.

If Books Could Kill
What if this world were flipped and books could kill?
For real, like Monty Python’s deadly joke,
That left the Hun laughing till he lay still,
Man’s one-sided war would go up in smoke.
From old ashes, arises a killer,
Whose name’s the same as Rome’s Odysseus.
Atilla, Genghis, every blood spiller,
All rolled into one Phoenix Proteus.
Ulysses’ hydra-headed arts of war:
Laugh and riddles, PSYOPS, vulgarity
All marshalled, so this invincible corp.
Kills barbarity with hilarity.
It would be such a sweet and fitting sight:
Brave book burners, for once, in a fair fight.

“He can kiss my royal Irish arse, Myles Crawford cried loudly over his shoulder. Any time he likes, tell him.”

WTF is an Initialism?
‘Useless word created to distinguish
initials from acronyms,’ UD states.
Such simple answers we must extinguish.
So, FU Urban Dict., crude reprobates.
Both MILF and GILF are proper acronyms.
DTF’s a prim initialism.
This ain’t hard. At best, they’re soft synonyms.
So, between them, let’s thicken the schism.
He FUBARed his class, when old Nabokov
Told, “You may peruse with a skimming eye…”
Joyce’s Ulysses’ new newsy jerkoff.
You fell flaccid AF, Vlad, FYI.
When wooing words, don’t ease up and streamline.
Stiffen your pine, go hard past the headline.
