Incommensurate



As inadequate as it seems incommensurate, there’s 
a scheme afoot which, by fair means or foul, deems 
some words too niggardly for use in poetry; given in 
jest an incentive to be wickedly ‘Wordsworthian’ I’m 
mortar & pestling something that neatly measures - 
and whether that bests the challenge rests easily in 
my ears, so here y’ are Jack Bobrick, greedily read, 
if you’ve the energy, and digest this feast of fantasy 

But I digress, there’s definitely poetry wherever the 
words used invoke any of six senses, altho’ maybe 
its best to stick to five we recollect & rest easy with; 
and I guess it would be incommensurate of me too, 
without inadequately expressing it, to say - Hey ho, 
Merry Christmas to y’all - and a Happy New Year…
