Conniption
Conniption

Conniption is the kinda word
that is so rarely heard
these days of tame and gentle ilk
when brains are washed like milk.

Then rage and temper oh so loud
and westerns made us proud -
but wait, I think I have it wrong
when riot grips the throng.


Line count: 8

For Express It In Eight, 11.09.25
