harikiri   

karaoke    

harikiri

(he often confused the two)

                              theyre performance bits and pieces

ya donwanna get crossed or confused

                                                                      

and then

rather than mocking and singing

youd be encouraged by a willful second to spill your slivered guts across a stage 

                                                                                 

no reason then to amplify your caterwaul into a mike

or need pay attention to the bouncing pearl-white sing-along ball lyrically

going from top of a word to top of a word  word top to word top

and the while

it wearing a beatific leering smile

when it was originally introduced to entice neophyte singers or whomever wished to follow along

or choose to neglect it

Performance bits and pieces

--   Thats right Ladies and Gents

Dont move a muscle

Its Theatre

Here for your viewing pleasure

Participants have been gathered from among the plebeians crowded beside you to help you remove your arms from your sides to cover your eyes with your hands

or applaud

or encourage

Thats correct

For your viewing pleasure

your entertainment or disgust

                                 Presenting  Our generous bits and pieces              

Throbbing hearts Visualized!

Weve got it all!

Weve spared no expense! 

                            to share with the not-so-faint-of-heart or the desperately squeamish

and for those Reasons alone

a distinct incentive

                     to learn the English Language   

so not to confuse and perform harikiri when you only meant to sing karaoke
