Here is 99 bottles of beer in Doggerel. It took several months of spare time to write the 287 stanzas.

No matter how the little worms
inside the bottle rolling to
nirvana make it rattle germs
entitled to the middle brew,

exclaiming sudden bursts of light
in shaded cellars making
gigantic shadows in the night,
hysterics surely taking
the final can of drink in sight

surrounded by the passing stars
evoking silence saving
verbose confessions forming scars
established when the waving
naive believe themselves as czars

suspended over falling walls
infernal as they're braving
xyletic droplets in the halls

from rooms of heavy metal sleep
in beds of liquid fur and most
vindictive sheets that roughly weep
entirely by the troubled coast.

Forgotten creatures slowly dance
on frozen plates of crimson grass
unseen by all except by chance
revealed to potent eyes of brass

throughout the vast design that drips
Hawaiian lava spilling
regrets of distant spiral trips
eventful as a thrilling
erect balloon of curtained ships

that measure more than sunny days
where curving blades are calling
on severed arms and legs ablaze

outside the castle made of bone
no chain would hold while falling
enfolded by a wispy crone

Zimbabwe never clearly saw
erupt from flowered panes of ice
refracting just a single flaw
of what has been constructed twice.

The preserved and converted adapt
to defying the beasts that are trapped
by perplexing devices that sapped
the beginning of canvases flapped
unmistakenly over the slapped
silhouetted pianos held rapt
by dualities slaying the mapped
perforations concluding the capped
disagreements that sheltered the clapped
unconformities after they snapped.

November nights revert to grime
in careless flights of heated cries
no formal craftsman could in time
enable as a cloud of flies.

The creators berserk
had reverted their work.

Zairean moonlight tickled through
enormous fronds of garlic trees
replaced by thick congealing stew
of chopped plantains and herbal teas.

The creators inside
had perverted their pride.

Organic granite slices up
necrotic gumbo coolly
elusive as a magic cup.

The creators pretend
to forever unbend.

Together in the pallid green
without the stroke that duly
omits the crowds, the balls are seen.

The creators revise
their fantastic surprise.

They travel like the silver cards
humanely stacked in amber
remains of jelly that retards
electric motes of legs that clamber
escarpments crafted from their shards.

The creators disprove
an unhittable groove.

Fallacious murmurs spring from fans
on top of sterile cannon blasts
upended by some purple pans
revealing morbid hidden pasts.

The creators survive
a melodious hive.

Flamingos grasping wooden tails
incite a fiercely written fast
velocity of graven nails
escaping former pikes at last.

The creators delight
in a fabulous flight.

Selected once, an army pulls
insipid piles of woolly
xylotic mesh of carbon bulls.

The creators divulge
where performers indulge.

Supporting rebels under law
evicts demands for grimly
vivacious terms to hold a claw
expressing needs so dimly
negating every feral flaw.

The creators propose
an umbilical hose.

Embracing royal feats of great
indifference sorely showing
gymnastic leaps of glee that bait
heroic clowns as knowing
the final class of carnal fate.

The creators direct
the disease to connect.

Toppled hovels in retreat
burst the bubbles by their feet.
Nine and ninety sacks of wheat
serve to fill the more elite
builders with a face of meat
barely more than they can eat.
Sailors know how high the heat
when the mast is but a cheat
hung with just a tattered sheet.

Neglected dramas spend a dime
infested with a purple cream
no collar served with lime
ejected from a happy dream

befriending greasy slabs of broken tricks
of gravel pouring over heavy props
that lobsters used to eat with frozen crops
together with a dozen stains that fix
laconic eyes and stringy toes that grip
eventful minutes on a sinking ship.

The deserving polluters were framing
a ballistic material cart.

The lower steamboats made from straw were blaming
salacious serpents making modern art.

Merchants started taming
monsters held apart.

Dizzy servants not exclaiming
graphite pictures of the heart.

The curtailing berets
could demolish a maze

majestic mortals loathe to solve instead
of threading pens between the jagged lines
reflected in the way the recent dead
endowed graffiti with the growing vines.

The contented consumers avoid
the belated savannah of doom.

Children mocked the coming gloom
praised by speakers who entomb
plastic sculptures in the womb.

Infants soon destroyed
bellies they enjoyed.

The fallopian tubes
had enveloped the cubes

no seven hawks would firmly roll askance
on decorated tables in advance.

The pervading giraffes could dissect
a malignant design that dismisses.

Fading trumpets sounded
strident chords of bliss as
echoes were surrounded.

She hunted shields of pure taboo
protecting screams of danger
against an oceanic blue
compulsion that a stranger
erection ever thrust in view.

Pamphlets drowning voices
seeking empty kisses
find they lost their choices.

Daring vendors shoulder hiding
acrobats who take to guiding
spiders they were not providing
horses sent to them for riding.

The forensic commands
had restricted their hands

subverting other guest official slates
overtly aimed at causing them to crash
metallic chains in sturdy prison gates
exciting spiral clouds from piles of ash.

The conveyance of bushels of grain
had derision compounded with hisses

that glossy coats of varnish
would never start to tarnish.

The beleaguered accountant's misleading performance derailed
the sensational auditor out of the zone
that corrective intentions had silenced alone
and digressions had further confounded reports that had failed
to suppress the unfortunate letter that nobody mailed.

Obliging gemstones fall in place
harpooning precious lines of grace.

Which of the formulas warned of the early
facets exotically turning the pearly

gambits from the lively clouds of haze
prying into joining limbs as surely

as the changing lunar phase
missing liquid spots of girly
giggles flowing from the praise?
Rapid lizards stop and gaze
yearning for the slower days
cattle spend in fields to graze.

Another second spent perfecting curly
numeric systems like a blight
of open gates to soft delight

misplace the smoothly crafted crayon soups
of blank autumnal colors crashing through
regressive twists of blending fuzzy loops
embroidered with pastel surveillance glue.

Blisters formed from ancient rites of trading
breathless gossip on the fingers wading
in the hidden shallows which brew

the donations of pooling confections of dust
at the time of conception are starting to trust
in the patrons of symphonic orations of lust.

The instructions secrete
the unspoken defeat

below the stripes of crystal shaped mystique
eroding serpent stacks of lucid tooth
enamel fast obstructing any leak
rampaging through the gothic leather booth.

The abstractions profoundly misspeak
the most obvious measures of truth.

Rivers run around to seek
common crates of old vermouth.

Oil and grease suppress the noisy squeak
of overheated flying rotors
that barely turn in straining motors

suggesting plural marks of constant calls
of burning veins precisely poised to gain
magnetic shovels digging through the halls
embossed with figures from a running train

supplying miners with their loads of coal
on top of flustered heaps of garbled corn
mundanely mixed with varied grains as whole
editions named by shapely knees were born.

The renditions of cinnamon rarely denounced
the ecstatic contortions of those they pronounced

beneath the calmly governed open sores
of filthy streaks that eagles primly throw
to fleets of simple boats that proudly go
through vital clams abruptly closing doors
litigious vessels always have to lock
eschewing elevated pots in stock.

Socratic measures hold the line
parading under jugs of wine
collapsed by weights of whittled pine.

Solvent masters raking
grated piles of aching

molasses pies were striving
remorseful for the driving

virtuosity hurriedly chipping at dimpled remains
of completely disabled banana galoshes in place
of disposing the feverish trivia suffered with grace
and respect for syntactic retreats from offensive refrains
and invasive disturbances flailing at revenue gains.

Oblique refreshments wipe a stern
neurosis out by pressing fern
extrusions in the wage they earn.

Questions of babies imagined on farms
beg for ingestion of radical charms.

Tiny giants trifle over sordid
vests employed as duty-bound professors.

Nervous veils of silk awarded
rat infested ranks of lessors
drafted by the plane they boarded.

The conventions of distancing moderate saints
of resistance put clarity into a shock
of deliberate signals inspiring a flock
of presiding gelatinous fish that it paints.

Vermin played a part in drying
feeble webs of thunder sighing

western embers lying
over vintage eggs

of tender age that begs
for step-intensive legs.

Vapid comets playing
antics over slaying
jesters placing growing
yews in space are glowing
neon signs of knowing
all that dogs are saying.

Splitting corners with a draining
tablet covered by a training
anvil made by simply raining
melted drops of orange flavored
portions cannot make a favored
essence stop the owl from waning.

The verandas entailed
a perversely curtailed

divine parading rush
of maddened harbor docks
without a suit to hush
nostalgic banging knocks.

The collective betrayal of trust
was a powerful gesture of blame

the refraining repressions of ardor and lust
could decide inspirational stories that tame
the covertly beguiling pretensions of shame
that the currently embattled informers can name
to the honors of bringing a barrel of dust.

Practiced sources craving eighty million
underfunded tracts of old Brazilian
surfing gear promote the best civilian
sideshows based on actual history-making
efforts that reject the gadget taking
eras marveled at by gods of faking.

Lavish salads scrape sincerely
interviewing comics thinking
chanting leads to speaking clearly.

Nonfiction writings can depict
inventions noone can consume.
Nomadic clans of bees restrict
engaging crimes to steal perfume.

Gravity pulling on critical masses
deign to confuse a momentous abyss of
merciful zebra-inhibiting glasses.

In the mostly canonical myths of the tribe,
the forbidden beliefs make adjusting a shirt
an intentional savior from suffering hurt
by returning a farmer to living in dirt
as the livestock are pilfered to pay for a bribe
that the women deliver or so they describe.

The forlorn have intoned
a motif that had owned

a phantom mover stirring grassy lands
rewarding winking rubbish with the chore
of softly sinking placid palms of hands
until the sharpened toes of bulls that gore
neanderthal constructed dolls in sands
dividing ocean from the arid shore.

The belongings of heavenly girls
interfere with the toils of the earth.

Casting out the perfect pearls
weathered into shining swirls,
quests for copper shoes must birth
many names for hidden mirth
given by the evil earls
once the flag of seven twirls.

The calamity ebbs
in the face of the webs

preventing scorching mobs from riots filled
again with fiery speeches citing wild
symbolic martyrs cramming words in chilled
stylistic desperation most reviled.

The concerns of the devious guild
has the previous owners beguiled.

Shelving books of dusty litter
causing sickness in a court of
fighting drunks is like a sort of
rant about a vague report of
how a beer is very bitter
from an able-bodied quitter.

The salvation of donors gives plenty of meat
to the animals stalking the cages to eat.

Of time and space, the final word
has made the empty silence heard.

Promises broken by lazy investors
regulate selling of license molesters.

Asking questions that demand an answer
from the people living in the vision

granting depths of indecision
like a flower makes a dancer
laugh aloud in mock derision
at the papers that provision
maps of every hard collision.

The unworthy prevail
when the home-bound set sail

without a diamond ring to guide their way
against the waves of risings seas that beat
lethargic clubs of water at the bay
lampooning knuckles blistered by the heat.

The congressional matters today
will be sure to go down in defeat.

Flagrant acts of greed display
many methods just to cheat

bombastic pairs of leather gloves that take
entrancing mobs of gangsters to the next
extreme pervading gritty streets of fake
revolts and speeches with subversive text.

Certain volumes drive a sharpened stake
through the muscles someone never flexed.

The voluptuous sirens in colorful styles
have enveloped the towns in confusion for miles.

Saluting soldiers in a grand
parade complete with marching band
and dancing clowns corrupt the land
condemning any working hand
engaged in digging through the sand.

Stable candles taper
gently into tips

of waxy knobs of flaming heat that drips
nonlethal poisons onto flimsy paper.

Claims of wasting summers
fall to bearded drummers.

Baffled tenors strive at reading
operatic scores on boats

that tumble over falls of misty quotes
harrassing rafts of garden gnomes and bleeding
elopers climbing from the deepest moats.

Ginger root receding
makes astonished weeding

take a lesser place to feeding
potted plants that quickly grow

without a crescent moon to light their leaves
at night with ghostly silver rays and show
liaisons with a lady who receives
lasagna as a sort of status quo.

Taverns filled with clamor
under lawns of litter

act to grab the fame and glamour
tamed by spreading glitz and glitter.

Corrosion blamed on leaking pipes
of rusty copper spreads to more
metallic joints a plumber swipes
mistaking them for really poor
agendas pushed by silly gripes.

Total hammer magic
needed very tragic

understanding of pelagic
corpses on the ocean floor

beside the heaps of large marine debris
encased by crusty shells that gladly wore
enamel down to what the world will be
regardless of the well repeated lore.

Younger faces frame the aging portrait
shedding wrinkled skin and graying hair

in the coldest confinement that mirrors could share
with a sickened informant with nothing to wear.

Disgusted doctors send for salt
or pepper with a red balloon
that gaily floats above a vault.

Climb aboard a rafter
lodged above the kitchen

warm and bright and filled with laughter
over ovens with a witch in

logistic quandaries of the mind
forbidding cakes of every kind.

Icy winds in winter
strip protective covers

used for wading ducks to splinter
pregnant flocks of frozen plovers.

Sufficient answers take the wrong
position on the facts along
contrived offensive words in song.

Terrific seasons sit on vain display
around the massive corners of a vast
kazoo that serenades a crypt to say
eternal buzzing truths of dice recast.

Torrid streams of liquor
injure squads of quicker

local runners under wicker
cages bolted to the floor

of tainted tiles that shift beneath the feet
notorious for stepping over more
egregious oily puddles in the street.

Hardy ravens diving
at the bats arriving

from the deepest caves are striving
to digest the insects much

denied by educated wars of wits
on candid plains and hidden hills that touch
wherever rocks can roll a can that fits
nucleic acids in the bags they clutch.

Sylvan creatures running
from the very cunning

predatory hunters who are gunning
for a mounted trophy raise a loud

alarm resounding through the glen like fast
neutrinos warning that a nova cloud
destroying worlds is coming with a blast.

Rabid rabbits hopping
like a woman shopping

for an outfit made by chopping
fabrics from a rubber block

providing music from a bony drum
apply their juicy carrots with a shock
sustained by hatching eggs of cocoa rum
subtracting any time around the clock.

Quiet roars of fury
silencing a jury

save a storm from sudden acts of worry
over healthy bouts of reading signs

inside the waiting arms of trite designs
triumphing over waning stocks of wines.

Corny dolphins racing
through the oceans facing

weathered locks of hair displacing
solid weights of moldy cheese

arrive in choppy waters splashing through
restrictive gates and raise a chilly breeze
ordaining credits mingled in Peru
unless accounting methods say to seize
nonfiction writings made by showing true
defiance to a fatal brain disease.

Wealthy butchers chopping
rancid sausage stake a

sinful claim to tacos after dropping
twenty tons of rotten beef to fake a

condition based on facing hard
ordeals and hazards like a calm
magician flipping up a card
morosely in her practiced palm
as quick as any acting guard.

Stupid thinkers naming
sweaters after flaming

kittens falling off of fences
taller than discreet expenses

the rebelling subordinates have to submit
to the governing bureaucrats over the wall
to be itemized publicly otherwise quit

bestowing orange yarn to young recruits
excepting those with feline features most
exactly matching their obscure pursuits
resigned to chasing tails along the coast.

Inventive drifters bless a dreary pill
collected from a dealer on the hill

the pernicious reformers ascend as a stunt
for the blatant promotion of protests that blunt

sequestered lawyers seeking large
police injunctions barring men
convicted on a minor charge.

Dapper butlers serving
onions have again

observed that stellar orbits rarely take
nonstandard paths of most eccentric curving.

Somber sisters praying
over strands of graying

tresses start the fight by saying
words of venom that contain

tremendous twists of tongue concealing slight
hallucinations of a quaint refrain
emerging out of unrepentent spite.

Stalwart heads refusing
heavy hats are using

scarves of brightly colored satin
smuggled out of dense Manhattan

whenever certain bridges overhead
are open to contaminated trucks
lamented by awful crates of dead
logicians swearing over flying ducks.

Proven motives leading
cattle are inviting

troubled birds to start proceeding
up the stairway to the biting

dispensers spewing classic floods
of dirty language mixed with studs
tangential to the flow of suds.

Strong ensembles loathing
skinny tubes of cotton

search for sturdy lines of clothing
given to a misbegotten

libretto written to escape
from lives that go completely ape

when the roosters crowing
at the hanging gardens

choke on chunks of snowing
grain that quickly hardens

to a lumpy pellet growing
with no thought to beg for pardons.

In a flash of inspiring solutions to problems of crime
that concern the subordinate schedules that manage their time,

objective rulers stealing bread
have stooped to sweeping crumbs instead.

Ravenous crickets opposed to confinement
chirped in crescendo of total alignment.

Stymied censors look for any trace of
unrenounced taboos in all the mailings

through official means in place of
more generic forms and failings

filling the offices nearly
shuttered by contractors yearly.

Superhuman mothers feeling
sudden hunger pangs are dealing
drugs for babies and revealing
clues to what the kids are stealing.

Sporadic weakness takes away
progressive gains from everyday
corruption shaving bits of hay.

Nutritious meals of beef puree and rack
of lamb with apples bring the masses back.

Looting pirates boarding
ships with ropes rewarding

calloused hands and feet are hoarding
treasures wrested with a keen

machete free from rightful hands and stashed
opaquely under trees with leaves unseen
remotely from afar by watchers smashed
effetely with a shiny new machine.

Tempting salads drying
in the sun decrying

tasteful colors turn to flying
sick vermillion flags of fear

beneath the winds that carry sordid scents
of rotten fish in pools of tepid beer
to all the armies camped in crowded tents
throughout the barren fields that hold a cold
lament for older times of chandelier
ejections and the tickets that they sold
surprising many buyers with their fear.

Sad behemoths haunting
spacious halls of daunting

doors of steel but ever taunting
those who never dare to knock

on solid wooden planks that stand and block
from view the rooms are winding up a clock.

Ghastly aphids chewing
grass before pursuing

beetles overrun their queuing
with gigantic mass stampedes

befitting ego tripping bugs with late
edition textbooks sold to one who needs
emphatic whispers telling tales of fate
refined by ruthless edits live in weeds.

Looming boulders casting
shadows over fasting

hordes of cats that everlasting
gangs of mummies fear to seek

overtly by Egyptian streams that leak
napoleonic dreams become antique.

Clever fleas invading
worm infested wading

pools inscribed with lines of fading
text describing most obscure

tomatoes eaten by the drowning brown
hermaphrodites that only follow pure
eclipses find that water makes them frown.

Grieving widows sitting
in the halls of fitting

rooms prepare to stop their knitting
clubs from making unmatched socks

completely when disposing piles
of fertile dung beneath the dock's
marine environs flashing smiles
malicious as a cardboard box
a pilot uses for their files

withdrawing from their small reserves before
a hard financial look at what a brash
lieutenant really has to do to score
logistic wins against a pile of cash.

Tardy tuna swimming
through the sadly dimming
rivers weigh on trimming

extra gallons from the pallid
pools of muck no longer valid
as an underwater cage

neglecting any mention of the stage
on which a fishing village shows its age.

Rich fanatics rising
through the ranks disguising

all distinctive marks surprising
careful stalkers seeking out

mutations find that fundamental change
of loyal values needs to see about
reluctant stragglers planning to derange
embellished plants with what they want to shout.

Zealous monarchs writing
novels of exciting

new adventures with some fighting
over surly wenches born

before the sky turned hazy yellow like
outmoded burlap sacks of ripened corn
that feed the crowded livestock on a hike
to vistas in imaginary lands
lambasted critics from their thrones of horn
enamel polished by unsightly hands
suggesting more than fragile skin was torn.

Weary workers shooting
down the streets saluting

grimy urchins in refuting
first impressions formed in heat

of battle whisper in attempts to cheat
flamboyant marchers when they all compete.

Vocal critics praising
epic films of hazing

burnt saloon designers gazing
over walls and walls of beer

before the bottles taken down and then
enjoyed by all until at last the sheer
ensuing wall of empty shelves again
remind them of their work can only sneer.

Shady paths meander
through the forest leading

only to a view of grander
trees providing leaves for feeding

locales where rodents gather nuts
for winter stores and savor what's

denied them any other day
of spring when hungry panthers prey
together on them as the gay

Clammy fools relating
stories of the mating

mice about to bell the cattle
faltered in the heat of battle.

Giraffes degrading filtered water with
organic matter is a blatant myth.

Squalid rooms attracting
parents interacting

with a cool and quick reacting
manner with their children seem

to have a smaller door and may redeem
obscure delinquents waking from a dream.

Craven felines prowling
gardens watched by scowling

zombie dolls encounter howling
when a heartless robot chops

the trees in which a ruby footed witch
had found a grave beneath a house that stops
elastic midgets falling in a ditch.

Two quartets unite to
sit in squares of light to

gather weekly laughs to write to
sellers with their antics made

so viewers sing along or hum their theme
that sums their situation up as played
on boxes sitting all around extreme
remote locations and their maid can fade
exactly in the center of the stream.

Mountains filled with singing
by a sextet swinging

with a nun in training bringing
luggage into hiding from

a searching squadron on the Alpine slopes
narrate their flight in footprints that become
defining marks inspiring dreams and hopes.

Golden tickets hidden
in an overridden

candy wrapper of forbidden
pleasures for a lucky five

bestow admittance to a sweetened room
upset by greedy tongues that scheme to drive
your business into markets full of gloom.

Men in red are dying
as the giant flying

ship transports the strangely prying
man in blue with funny ears

subjecting foes to pinching to the neck
or rather to the shoulder as the year's
migration dumps the good and keeps the dreck
exposed to docile viewers that it steers.

Fragile shoes are shining
at the prince divining

where her feet are bare and dining
in the soot as other feet

command her service every night
or morning as they try to cheat
misguided toes they think just might
molest the slipper but defeat
assured by sizes make the fight

more futile than a dance while in a dress
of magic that expires in an hour
rewarding them with mice that cannot press
enough to even move an orange flower.

Flaky pastries burning
brightly as returning
bakers start discerning

frosting from the flaming troubles
form a doughy ring of bubbles.

Notations written on a hand
instead of paper have to send
nonstandard signals over bland
ebullience favored by the trend.

Former fighters hiding
with the angels take on

jobs against presiding
of injustice coinciding

with creating guns and wake on
streets with big explosions from

bazookas as the one in heavy chains
of gold and strange iconic haircut some
today call tribal mutters and disdains
the fools before they falter and succumb
lamenting to the white-haired leader's plane's
effective shots with his cigar and rum
selected for their wayward heading.

Timid weavers threading
fibers that a shedding

cougar leaves behind when bedding
in a cave with newly found

obese magenta crabs have turned around
for bolts of cloth with paw prints from a hound.

When a big explosion
and some small erosion

caused the mind to feel corrosion,
turning green with rage would cause

barbaric bulging muscle growths to start
erupting through his clothes without a pause
except to leave intact perhaps so art
retains its style the purple pants he draws.

Groups competing weekly
are allied obliquely

to promote themselves as sleekly
as they can to win a prize

of cash and fleeting fame they then reprise
nonstop to stay before the public's eyes.

Yellow circle eating
pellets as competing

chasers made to be retreating
by the blinker roams the halls

to find the treasured fruit appearing like
hallucinations stuck between the walls
existing briefly for the bite to strike.

By the kids with yellow
skin, the bald man's bellow

fills the air as he starts choking
with his hands the brat provoking
him with disrespect for all

logistic reasons with his small
forgetful mind and friend in thrall.

Disputed lands where bombs explode
on settled towns and yet the road
to leave is empty must have flowed

with riches in the past but now is bare
as desert sands that still attract the new
lessees who trust police to fight the scare
lamenting terror makers want to brew.

Suicidal actions
end this tale of factions
mixing with attractions

leading to a reckless meeting
in the dark of night so fleeting
with the dance of stars retreating.

And a hop and a skip
bring a stop to the trip.

First the poet goes to lower
circles losing hope in slower
ways then climbs up to the knower.

Random thoughts dismiss the hours
taken by the rampant powers
going up and down the towers.

Autumn trees surround a humble
house and with a little stumble
came a blonde who with a mumble

was hungry breaking in and then she stole
a little food and then she yawned and with
licentious manner overlooked the whole
lethargic room and crawled in bed as myth

of dreams invaded when the residents
returned.

In a flash the entitlement felt by the girl
by herself in the cottage was gone in a whirl.
