I consume servings of
Phrase and Fable
with Roget's sprinkles.
I slurp on Boggards, Achilles and Midas
till the tummy of my mind
is full.

As I burp on my Brewers meal,
terrors which haunt me at night,
the vulnerable part of my body,
and my ears like a donkey
start to show.

I slink away quietly
to pin them back

Reading the title I thought the word droop may creep in. Much better though as a litnet tale as we work out who is who among the boggards, the achilles and the Midas. Personally, I am settling for the Midas. But with ears like an arse, you aint listening :D
I would know who wrote this in a sea of poems.
That is a compliment.

lol. thanks Jerry. I'm pretty sure I could spot your poetry too

I didn't think of connecting lit-netters to Boggards, Achilles and Midas.

Let's take a vote

Me? Definitely a Boggard

"Drink deep or taste not the Pierien Spring..." Wish I could have recognized, without googling, the references here.
