Prompt:
In the land of Querulous and Niggling's throng,
Where Obdurate folks persistently belong,
A Garrulous pedant, with his laconic mate,
In Maunder's embrace, did pontificate.
Bellicose breezes blew through sycophantic trees,
And irascible clouds sailed the skies with ease,
In the fastidious realm of the risible sun,
The persnickety flowers bloomed, one by one.
A truculent traveler with a fustian flair,
Descended the path of the captious lair,
With pugnacious resolve, he met the diffident sage,
Their intransigent hearts, they tried to assuage.
A pettifogger's dance in the tender moonlight,
Where cavils do spin in a mordant delight,
The dissembler and the termagant tangoed as one,
As the shadows of obfuscation gently begun.
In the midst of the absurdities, life's tenuous thread,
The supercilious dreamers danced on the edge,
As they mulishly frolicked through the peremptory night,
In the procrustean world, they crafted their flight.
And so, in the realm of the tendentious and strange,
The laconic and garrulous constantly rearrange,
For it's here, in the riddles of life's grand display,
The joys and absurdities intermingle and sway.
