Have a riot and please your heart
Or read the riot act to ease the unease
Give your hair a riot of colors to start
A new era if there’s an expired lease.
Imagination runs riot to create
A new world riotously entertaining
And only a riot of emotions satiate
Nerves that have been over-straining.
A riot that’s an outburst with a purpose
Has a lot of good tagging and tailing
But the one that’s inflamed a media buzz
Is a riot that should be constantly failing.
