Diddledorfer and the Emoticons

 
Brillo pad
Glad bag
Emoticons
All done up in
Paper mache
Papier-mâché!
While lying
Prone I
Won't sleep a wink
Sleep a wink
 
Diddledorfer claimed
His wife
Josephine
Wouldn't serve him
Coffee
On the stage
While he called
Dances
All last year
 
Gosh darn it
Daggone
Emoticons
In a cul-de-sac with
Hors d’oeuvres
Hors d’œuvre! 
While on a
Lenten fast
I won't stay 'r go
Stay-or-go
 
Diddledorfer died
In his armchair
By the window
On that fateful
Day, while
A brief pause
Occurred in the
Square dances and
Josephine sobbed
 
Fandango
Ready RoundUp
Emoticons
Like festoons 'round
An R.S.V.P.
Répondez, S’il Vous Plaît!
And I, the
Risqué fiancé,
Won't clap or leave
Clap or leave
 
Diddledorfer was lain 
By a brook
In a private place
On a Tuesday
As Josephine stood,
Bleary-eyed, 
In her Sunday best
Flinging flowers
Before the dirt fell
