Maryon Wants Me To Write Edgy

 

Maryon wants me to write edgy

A challenge I cannot refuse

WOLers know I'm not a challenge back-downer

On ones that I know I can't lose

 

Maryon would like me to write edgy

To which I say shit! you tempt fate

Now fate was against me the last time

Got booted, but will oblige this time mate

 

Maryon's patiently waiting

Waiting in wings, bate-ing breath

So what can I concoct to excite him

Ensure edginess, not cause my death

 

He continues, asks, “please Don write edgy”

(Perhaps I could form Edgy Club?)

I'm gonna have to edge up my rhyming

To more than just rub-a-dub-dub

 

I did fleet a thought, maybe temple?

'The Temple of WOL Edginess'

But Club has a more clubby feeling

While temples fall down in a mess

 

Desirous of pleasing edge readers

I'll enter my edge-writing mode

And post up some eye-popping rhyming

But still within WOL's moral code

 

This isn't my planned edgy poem

Just preparing myself, warming up

I want Maryon to stay screen-glued

And waiting for when I do serve edge up

 

(He's gonna have to wait...screen-glued)
