Extremely excellent and not at all pointless Poetries for your culture part and definitely not your cruttle hatch.
Take one or two vague poetries a day and shove them forcefully inside the top of your cultural flouter, swallow hard and then try to forget what you did and how it tasted. Just like that time you were locked in at the dog shelter overnight.
It is essential, so don't ask questions and just get on with it.

Lungbash wasn't a cloth
but he wasn't a gate
what he sometimes wasn't,
was a wooden red eight
he didn't be wetter, or ninety minutes late

Lungbash was an extremely badly restored baroque bow-fronted corner cabinet with mild depression and wet legs.

Improvised vessel for my voluminous vanity
Subduer of stolen and now stationary sound
When I woke up next to a beaker
I was dismayed at what I found
Perpendicular pipe of facial wind
Misconstrued my desires
And conspired to be binned
Inside a grubby beaker
As I loomed aloft
and peered without heart
cold and oblivious like a clown in space
My oboe, once rigid musical part
rested woefully inside the grubby place
lacking sorely for facial wind, respect and a friendly aperture.
I am bereft of oboe.

Tearing asunder my friend's cod roe

with his fins upon the floor
swam accross my slumber
and thought he saw much more
sleeping in human form
he misconstrued my needs
swapping my spine for a curly bracket
despite my plaintive pleas
I live not on a keyboard!
I counselled him wisely
But all I said was sadly in vain
as he told me nicely
you resemble in my eyes
some sort of punctuation
you're clearly mad, you're no more human
than I am oceanic crustacean
I killed him and set fire to the body before realising that I was probably going to be stuck this way for life.

Wouldst thou discredit me with your fibs? A man with features taken from instrument I little understood what he but meant "Wouldst thou buy my frogs?" "Your nose is a trumpet?" "Wouldst thou buy my socks? "Your mouth reedy clarinet!" "Circumcise your insensitive jibes, and speak of business matters alone, lest I strike you down like a weasel earthquake!" my suspicion allayed as warm concrete batter (with no apparent incline) I would buy many elements it would be to flatter to assign any real function trinkets, a trifle, a bibelot "This molecule scraper, it lacks for a handle" "Mine pancreas resembles a hammond organ?" "Your vibrating paintbursh, perhaps missold?" "You of weakened wit may not comprehend functions beyond your field, desist your ignoble ignominy and cease your libellous leakage, lest I smite you as a bongo botherer" It was thus I was misled bereft of money and reputation (that I deserved mostly) laughed out of town home and even yet police station "His face was banjolele!" "You speak asunder." "His eyes flaps of tamborine" "Your insolence a wonder. Cease your witterings lest I set about you like a warren-full of beavers. Get out!" It was thus I learned I was irretrievably, inescapably insane.

And Psires wept and wailed and wheezed
and cursed out loud
his unsatisfactory knees!
each and every season
it was said he became
not a lot unlike
a very unlikely reason
(like a dehydrated fish in the sea)
And he didn't fit or match or please
his legs and his feet
were more relevant than his knees
which were said to leak tizer
and renovate peas
but what psires was
was a very wooly reason
(like a failing bicep in a breeze)
Applied to an effect, an outcome or a meal
Psires fitted not
and sadly wasn't real
he lacked any sense
(and an ability to kneel)
so he killed himself and set fire to the body three times before disappearing forever
