please connect each dot but suppress all evil thought though you be deaf dumb and blind the master can read your mind and knows who you are and are not
a mathematician named mope surveyed the world without hope when he added up the sum his brain grew numb and he fell down a slippery slope
a necromancer named nowling was fond of candlepin bowling when the game grew obsolete tears fell at his feet and the dark streets he began trolling
an orotund opossum named ole could not escape a wormhole as he waited to lose weight he bewailed his fate and wished he'd played a better model role
a panda named prester john surveyed the parthenon pondering its ancient graces and vanished noble faces he could not suppress a yawn
a queen named coralie from a distant galaxy was allergic to living creatures and on planets without features she quietly sipped her tea
a robust rover named roy was a very boisterous boy he crashed through jungles and savannas and mopped his brow with silk bandannas as he jangled with juvenile joy
the sultan of s---------- was slow to develop witty bon mots he stood at his window for hours sadly surveying the flowers because he had nowhere to go
a wily warmonger named wedd each night when he went to bed put a nuclear warhead or two inside his boot or his shoe so he wouldn't wake up dead
letters form into words and fly away like birds over an endless expanse of high adventure and true romance and restless wandering herds

From "please connect each dot" to
"restless wandering herds", interesting. The cows in the open air sure seem to have a wider perspective of the universe than the "dot men".
Full of interesting images. My favorite stanza:
"a panda named prester john
surveyed the parthenon
pondering its ancient graces
and vanished noble faces
he could not suppress a yawn"
this is a perfect little piece in itself.
