A Mindless Obtrusion

If I could I'd say nothing,
I'd wander about..
I'd spout out some nonsense,
Some nonsense devout.
I'd render words useless,
I'd drown them in clout;
Of some mindless obtrusion,
You just couldn't do without.

I'd sing with the Dodo, and fly with the pig.
Leave every stone unturned; to nothing would I twig.

I'd trade the smart money, to the man with two first names;
Keep two birds alive and stay well behind the game.

I'd make bygones fight bygones, refuse to scratch your back.
Judge the book by it's cover, stand up the empty sack.

I'd make the biggest omelette, without breaking one egg.
I'd make sure the competition stayed well before my leg.

I'd bite the hand that feeds me, practice western mores in Rome.
Eat all of the free lunches, launch rocks from my glass home.

I'd be a choosy beggar, I'd beat around the bush.
I'd grab the bull his tail in hand, his every button would I push.

I'd put the eggs in just one basket, I'd count the chicks before they'd hatched.
Go where the grass is greenest, keep Pandora's box unlatched.

I'd drown a horse in water, and beat it once it's dead.
I'd fix the Mona Lisa, fix it 'till it's red.

I'd speak before I think and keep my penny for the thought.
A bird in the hand or in the bush? I'd abandon the lot!

I'd talk really really loud, that my actions speak the lesser.
Throw the baby with the bathwater, make feuds with my professor.

If I could I'd say nothing, until the end of time.
I wouldn't care if I made sense or spoke a single rhyme.

There is a breed of nonsense, that wraps around your ear.  
A certain je ne sais quoi that you'd likely have to hear.

And once it all was finished, I'd ramble some more.
And on my way out, I'd probably hit the door.
Cause it's just this sort of nonsense, that does itself implore:
A dog that chases it's own tail does not know what it's for.
