Revised sonnet #1527
Shaping up sour stoush sore split of sexes
Jauntier jabs and probes of banter criss cross
Hazard history and haul in exes
Battleships on paper speculate loss
Yet if reading people life perplexes
Show of character assumes its own gloss
Prisoner tattoo or ethnic bindi vexes
Psychological term calcifies floss
Allergies and germ diseases still stalk us
We concoct a fort of fuming faeces
We doubt dwarf and giant as salient species
Aeons of fallacy and fitful false fuss
Half the wile would I of you suspect not
I escape bombardment your concise shot
Chorus not non nyet
