Jokey

The absurd depths
Da dum Da dum Da dum
Lingerie of language
Slow to reveal
More to conceal
The nuance nuisance
Polysyllabic translucence
The heavy tresses
The lighter stresses
Of comic verses
The delightful anticipation
The heart full intoxication
Deft draftness in time
Of thought crime.

"Lingerie of language".....

interesting metaphor but I quite like it!

I agree with seashore! You would have to be totally sober to say it though

Really good wordplay - seems like you are having fun with these poems celticman which is about right. :-)

This reminded me of one of those mugs, or pens where women in bikinis take their clothes off. By the time you get to the last word, she's naked... can we have a man next time, please? Nice wordplay.

Thanks Sooz, but who said it was a woman?
