Poem: Upon Finishing Controversial Jack – The Impromanga (Attempt #13,186,943 ¼)

(Based on The Garden of Prosperine by Algernon Charles Swinburne)





Dreams of a madman…
Thoughts of love and war…
Some people would claim that I have a short attention span…
But those people are Communists, so I’ll have to give them what for!
I see ducks… rubber ducks… lined up in rows of twelve apiece…
My gaze wanders to all the Amish people eating… eating cheddar… cheese…
Now I see that all the frogs are truly wearing purple fleece…
But I always will remember that you don’t know what is real anymore…


I am Controversial Jack… My world is a whirl of ducks… and color…
I am sane, and you are crazy…
Your reality is such a SNORE…
Your eyes see fleeting dreams… fleeting dreams… misty… hazy…
Everything you know is politically correct…
But then again… you’re not me, I guess… so what can I expect?
              Go back again to your German sect, you overprotective,
              child-abusing, chain-smoking, drug-perusing,
              hypochondriac!
Pretty please?


I ally myself with the underdog…
Whenever there’s a conflict, I will be fighting for the good side…
You have all become lost in this political fog…
Paper clips are too high-priced, which cannot be justified!
But I have come to save you now…
So please don’t have a cow…
But fall to your knees and bow…
For I… yes I… am… Controversial… Jack.
Yeah, that’s me.
Back to the Sacred Grove...
