Brother Binky thought that you might be interested to know that his latest poem is written in Iambic Pentameter with a Spondee at the end of every other line.
Everyone loves a Spondee.
Brother Biscuit-Banjo.
Don't
upset your feet.
There's
nothing quite as silly as a flip-flop,
They're
always sliding off your bloody feet.
There's
nothing that's as prone to make your head pop,
As shoes
that won't stay on your plates of meat.
I don't
know why you'd use them for a beach walk,
You just
get sand between your foot and shoe.
I tried it
once and then I heard my feet talk,
"Remove
these things before we murder you."
I took them
off and held them, one in each hand,
And let the
sea cascade around my toes.
I took a
breath then ventured back to dry land,
Then picked
a grain of sand from out my nose.
The beach
got stony so I wore my flip flops,
And used
them to protect my sandy soles.
I slipped
and cut my ankle on a sharp rock,
My skin was
broken, blood came out the holes.
My feet
piped up again and said, "We warned you,"
"We
said to keep those fucking shoes away."
I answered
back, "I only tried to help you."
They turned
me round and said, "We'll make you pay."
They
marched me down the beach in to the cold sea,
Then said,
"We think it's time to say goodbye."
They
carried on until the waves consumed me,
I wore
flip-flops and now I'm going to die.
Bloody flip flops
