Begone!

Bumbling bumpkins

By Mack D. AmesPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Bill bought Barry

big blue berries.

Betty brought Bob

blinding, boiling blob.

Barry bore Betty

bright, bushy, bobcats.

Bob bounced Bill

brown, bunched brillos.

Bruce bemused Bartholomew.

Brian befuddled Bonita.

Bartholomew beatified Bautista,

but Bonita bespoke Bartimeus.

Bartimeus bothered Barnabas

by bartering bananas bought by Bill.

But Bill, being bratty, bartered beans,

bothering Barty, being beatified by Bonita.

Barnabas borrowed Bill's beanpot.

Boiling beans burned, bickering began.

Betty booped Bob,

Bob booped Bill.

Bill, Bartimeus, Bonita, Bautista, Bartholomew, Barnabas, became

booped bloopers by Betty, by Bob.

Burned beans begrudged. Bickering befit bemoaned beans, bananas.

Bemused boneheads, bumbling bumpkins, begone! Begone!
