I’d rate it:
Great

Illumination late at night
Is quite annoying; when you tire,
That’s how come they chew the wire.
When you flick the switch for naught,
You’ll know it’s rodents that you’ve got.

Prefer my face not gape too wide;
When speaking logorrheically
I’ll use two syllables, not three,
So verbs don’t fracture on my grin
And dribble syntax down my chin.
If I’m wearing something dressy,
Excess fricatives get messy.
Don’t want diction in your lap?
Don’t say excrement, say crap.

Are cute, sweet, and fuzzy.
Just look at those noses!
We needn’t think twice
When we see their wee faces,
Nor wonder, “Gee, does he
Or she want to harm me?”
They don’t work for ICE!

Your reasons now are: Pretti, Good.

Sowing chaos and disorder.
Even Minnesota Nice
Gets frosty faced with so much ICE.

As I went about my day
To keep sports scores and politics
A healthy ways away.
I liked the isolation
And enjoyed the quiet ride
Safe inside my snow globe
Whilst the blizzard raged outside.

I’m watching. You don’t twitch or crawl
Or show a sign of life at all.
Perhaps you’ve died, forgot to fall,
And now you’re stuck? Tough luck. Tough call.
I ought to check, yet still I stall.
Still Life With Eight Legs, on my wall.
