My Pome Today

I wanna write like Paula
Because she's one brill honey
I wanna write like Roy
Because he's seriously funny

I wanna write like Jenny
Because she's freakin' hilarious
I wanna write like Asia
Because she's melancholy vocabularious

I also wanna write like Jen
Because she gets it done
And write like Peggy and Kos (Jeff)
Who have way too much fun

Or write like Dawn whose sarcasm
(Though not her bod!) is hefty
Or write like archer even though
His genius is all lefty

But I can only write like me
And me is way too serious
I look at what I wrote and think
I must have been delirious

But better to write like I have writ
Than try too hard to not
Cuz what I've writ is writ by me
And me is all I've got

So if this page comes off as sad
Or too nutjob political
Remember that deep down inside
I'm really happy wittical

And all those arguments you see
In endless comment streams
Are foam und drang upon my sea
Of art, and love, and dreams

I'm first!! Nice pome, Don.

Kos said...

This is quite possibly the only poem that's ever been written about me (even just two lines), and I'm giddy!

"Is her writing any good?"
"Well, but she does it."
"Yes, but is it interesting in any way?"
"You're missing the point."

It's okay. I deserve it. My blog is a vast wasteland of vapid waste these days. I don't really mind though. It kind of goes with my shoes.

Oh, huh? This wasn't about me? Sorry. Nice poem!

"happy wittical" is where it's at, Don! lol thanks for that!!!

Don said...

but she does it

I said that because you save valuable time and mental energy for real writing outside of bloggering and have actually submitted things and everything. Even though you have a small child and are moving and everything, you git er dun Writing and aren't spending naptime on World of Warcraft.

Right?

Man, it's a relief to read poetry with proper meter and consonant rhyme, even if you had to invent some words. I'm all for neologisms.

Sigh. She doesn't nap anymore. You wouldn't believe what this has done to my gaming schedule. I may have to give up fiction.

Oooh. Now she'll be that much more demanding of your resources as she enters into that akward stage between napping and going away to college.

Okay, I'm obviously not in the club, but I so dug this comment you made over at Paula's place:

"but a shitload of dumb-ass religionuts who are scared of everything that can't be explained by some fat fuck with bad hair and a Bible."

Sorry for changing the subject, but that's just too flucking funny. And hip.

roy, i think what don is saying is that you are serious *and* funny = seriously funny. while i am freaky *and* hilarious = freakin' hilarious.

neither one is better. they're just different.

btw, my most favorite rhyme is political/wittical.

nice.

I'd be hurt that I wasn't mentioned here, except that I rarely write anymore. So you would never wann write like me because you'd rarely ever. Write like your self. Right.
