your face occupies the entire doorway
or has the room become suddenly small?
i feel like thwacking your smile with a death ray
or smacking it fervently into the wall!
your nasty moustache with its fried egg stains
those urticating bristles on caterpillar lips…
just one look has given me stomach pains
i’d soon as not kiss you as cut off my nips!
when you lean over me with your fresh garlic breath
i feel like a vampire that’s getting ready to die
so i wouldn’t mind overdosing on some meth
if it meant i could avoid you in sheol’s by and by
you whisper, ‘what can i ding dong diddly do?
for you?’ sounding suspiciously diddly ho sweet
and you adjust those glasses you’re peering through
making my flesh want to crawl away up the street
at the altar of the temple of ghastly dreams
i am ready to swear on the shiny shinning
anything to expunge all the flanderish screams
visions of red and yellow cartoon skinnings

Bad breath is the worst.

Especially when you suspect that you’re the one who has it. No one will tell you, but they’re quite happy to inch away in a not so subtle manner (even though they think they’re being subtle)! 😛

I see why folk songs are so often full of diddly does. Keeps the rhythm without need of a word. I have been known to use the same device. 🙂

Diddly does are so much fun to put into anything really. Great disruptors, they are!

This is amazing, in so many different ways! It’s unique, clever, and very interesting. I used to love watching the Treehouse of Horror specials, and I looked forward to them every year. This poem really captured the spirit of those episodes. Great work! 👍

Thank you, Haley. Those specials are among our most favourite episodes of ‘The Simpsons’! Fantastic! 😀

Especially liked the first two lines – evocative of old fears; but “flanderish”?

‘Flanderish’ is a terrific word! Ya gotta use it in conversation at least once, my friend. Just see the reaction… 😉

I love your writing and I want to comment, I really do. The smell of garlic is up my nose and those wormy whiskers are playing tricks on me.
This must be how a little kid feels when forced to kiss an old grandpa or grandmother. ❤️to you.
