Life Without The Letter A

by Ogden

 -o-
Writing sensible prose or poetry without the forbidden letter is difficult, but possible, I surmise, 
but I’ll likely find I’ve posted something insipid, something incredibly, ridiculously stupid, otherwise. 
The only vowel letter missing, could possibly inhibit my tries, so if I f….mess up, I surely won’t be surprised. 

Here goes: Everyone knows - Well, I insist, lots of folks seem to know it: I try to be funny in most of my posts (even if they don’t show it). Don’t feel down if you’re just not funny; it doesn’t imply you’re inferiior; the truth is, the best thing to possess is your flexible interior. 
Everybody should try to be good, even if they have no funny bone;  
So don’t be dispirited, just keep on trying, if you’re humorless prone. 
If you tend to be grouchy, you’re perfectly fine, you might even be blessed;    
It’s still possible you possess the humor gene, which you wouldn’t’ve guessed. 
But, on second thought, you might be fine, humorlessly, being without mirth,      
thriving in the grinchy life you’ve bothered others in, following your                                    birth.                                     
Whoops! There I went, my reckless bent, without intent, possibly insulting;                    
 From these missteps I did, you'll likely find consequent insults resulting. 

Don’t be offended, no slight intended, I find myself kind of confused.
I don't know how you got discussed in this, so just try not to feel
ill-used. 

I believe injudicious things penned might be quite offensively biting,   
But, I hope we’re ok, with no hurt feelings due to indiscreet writing.        

This work shortly will be concluded, time to tie up existing loose ends;   
I'll be re-inspired when enjoying employing words my muse recommends. 
Finally, once more, I'm optimistic of not riling, unwittingly;   
and I must trust I side-stepped the now-sequestered predecessor of B.
