an impossible impossibility

to laugh seriously
mock a nun
pity a clown
all that is red may be brown

for a rhyme
if i had a dime
i haven't got time

and now i can't stop to confuse the issue
issue the confused

how i wish i wasn't used

play a drum
watch the play
tell the time
be a tattletale

let one thought lead to
oh brother another rhyme

read this line
was i ahead
or you behind
