Now for my next 'cute' poem... Wink

Barber visits are a pain
On the pocket book a drain
Seems I'm always shelling out
To that hair reducing lout
Stars

When he's through, it's never right
It's a thought provoking sight
I strongly question his skills
My head now looks like road kill
Shocked

So I have devised a plan
To avoid that evil man
I'll need hair cuttings no more
Plus, I'll save money galore
Cheesy

I'll no longer waste my dough
On that crazy barber, Joe
I'll just simply shave my head
And buy a toupee instead.
Tongue


E will be proud of me. Smiley

This is a quick catch-up post of mine. I haven't posted in a while because of exams, and then afterwards, Post-Exam LazinessTM Smiley Smiley Roll Eyes Wink Smiley. Seriously though, here are my thoughts about Joe's recent poems:

They are all good as always, although #300 was the only one to really amuse me in the way that his best poems have successfully done. We're all bound to have a Meh StreakTM every once in a while though.

As always, I will be looking out for the next poems that you post on here, and I will be making a post about them when they come.

Now in order to properly end this post, here's a nifty Smiley FarmTM in my grand tradition:

Sleep Yes  Juggle Jester Stupid Smiley Smiley Roll Eyes Wink Smiley

Thanks, Jen!

I rather like the term 'hair reducing lout' for a barber.

Kinda weird, since my mom cuts my hair.  I don't suppose CH better refer to his barber in such terms either... Roll Eyes

I'm going to try a write-a-thon
We'll see if it's approved by Jon
I'll try to write ten poems today
And naturally include 'toupee'

Perhaps I'll dedicate a few
I'm not quite sure just what I'll do
It just might take the forum cop
To get the write-a-thon to stop

If you don't like my poetry
Just close your eyes and you won't see
For all the rest of you on here
I guess I'll be back later...  Cheers!

Oh. One more thing to keep in mind
A small precaution 'cause I'm kind
'Kind of nuts!' I mean to say
Bye for now. Have a great day.

I hereby dedicate this poem to Aj....   *deadpans*

They say up north it's bitter cold
I've never been there; just been told
There's lots of ice and dark and snow
And temps, they get sixty brrrrrr low

(Jon will think that that was a bad pun too, but this poem isn't dedicated to him! Tongue Wink

The sun's warmth seems to not be there
There are no hints of balmy air
The polar bears wear coats of fur
Even with those, shivers occur

The people are called Eskimo
(At least that's how the stories go)
A house of ice is where they live
Not sure how much warmth that would give

The day is night there quite a lot
It is a land the sun forgot
It's busy south, warming Aj
Up there, it's dark and cold and gray

The people there freeze off their butts
If you ask me, I'd say they're nuts
Why would they live in such a spot?
A land of which the sun forgot

I can't say I feel sorry, though
For those north people of the snow
While they freeze their butts and repine
I'm down 'here' busy freezing mine!

Whale of a Tale


I went out fishing in the rain
A record breaking fish to gain
I had the rods and reels and bait
And then I set in for the wait

The rain the boat began to fill
And naturally, I took this ill
It meant there was more to be done
Than trying to snag 'the big one'

I set my pole down with a sigh
As water tumbled from the sky
A bucket I then reached to get
To commence bailing out the wet

About this time, to my surprise
Unpleasantry assailed my eyes
Remember aforementioned fact?
The pole I dropped to be exact

It zipped across the boat, no lie
While scrambling after it was I
I had 'the big one' on the hook!
At least it seemed so by the look

It seemed it was within my grasp
And then I gave a painful gasp
It left the boat of its accord
Then it and I were overboard

I hit the water with a splash
But then I knew I had been rash
The lake was frigid as could be
November makes it so, you see?

And after the initial shock
I saw my pole sink like a rock
So I turned back in true dismay
Resigned that this was not my day

I started swimming for my boat
I saw it yonder there, afloat
It looked a little odd to me
I couldn't place the mystery

And then my apprehension grew
I looked again and then I knew
And my boat soon confirmed my fright
By bubbling out of my sight

I turned to view the far off shore
It seemed a hundred yards or more
I tell you, it felt like a mile
I swam a weary, weary while

When I had finally reached the beach
I flopped right down bereft of speech
At last, I staggered to my truck
While grumbling about my luck

What happened next, I fear to say
You won't believe it anyway
The rain had stopped without a doubt
And then the sun came breaking out!

                 *      *      *

Well, that was yesterday, my friend
And now my tale's about to end
But there is one last bit of news
That possibly will you amuse

I know I haven't told you yet
You see, that 'big one' I did get
Although, if the whole truth is told
I caught a whopper (of a cold)


*I dedicate this poem to my friend Lazy. Don't ask me why. It just seems right. Cheesy Wink

The doctor says you shouldn't smoke
It's bad for you, and you might croak
And then he says too much to drink
Will make it so that you can't think
He rambles about fat intake
He says that it is a mistake
If you have too much, you see
It can clog an artery
The doc says if you overdo
It can mean the end for you
But he says you should exercise
And so, just let me summarize:
If you strictly follow this guy
I guess you'll live until you die


That one went over well *sarcasm*

Before I say anything else, I would like to note that Joe didn't actually write ten poems, and hence, we should get our money back (not that we actually paid or anything, but anyways...) Roll Eyes Wink!

*Actually decides to read the poems instead of just randomly complaining about irrelevant topics  Bookworm Smiley Roll Eyes Wink*

On second thought, the four poems that you did write are well-worth the price of admission anyways. They have the pizazz that I felt your last wave of poems that I commented on lacked.

My favourite poem is probably the whale poem, and believe it or not, I'm not just saying that because it's dedicated to me Smiley Bookworm Smiley Roll Eyes Wink Smiley.

Well, as always, I can't think of anything to actually end my post with, so I guess that I'll just say that, as always, I'm looking forward to whatever you post next, and now here's a Beautiful Smiley FarmTM to look at, in my grand tradition, yet again:

Okay, since Joe gave up after only writing four poems, it's up to me to try to write the remaining six, and what else to try to write about in a poem than my answer to Joe's above post  Bookworm Smiley Smiley  Roll Eyes Wink Smiley?

You can't take back your dedication,
Because you already gave it to me
It's supposed to show your admiration
After all, the hurt feelings from the take-back aren't free!

And here I thought our relationship are growing,
But however, it seems like it wasn't so
I guess that our relationship is really plateauing
And that I really shouldn't count on old Joe

So seriously, what do you think of my poem Bookworm Smiley Roll Eyes Wink Smiley?

And can you please say it without throwing those rocks that I clearly see in the hands of half of you right now Bookworm Smiley Roll Eyes Wink Smiley?

Now I'm going to try to foolishly write a poem about a Humongous Taco, like what Joe, Aaron, and I talked about in a chat a few months ago. Wish me a lot of luck, folks Bookworm Smiley Smiley Roll Eyes Wink Smiley!

Sometimes, I just want to have a Humongous Taco
Complete with all of the toppings
Sometimes, I just want to have a Humongous Taco
But I don't want to have to put up with all of the shopping's

Sometimes, I just want to have a Humongous Taco
But I just can't find a store that has everything I want
Sometimes, I just want to have a Humongous Taco
But to my cause, people just act nonchalant

Sometimes, I just want to have a Humoungous Taco
But sometimes, I feel like it'd be easier to commit arson
Sometimes, I just want to have a Humoungous Taco
But no store I go to will give me a topping of Greer Garson!

I have no closing comment, so I'll just tell you that Joe gave me the idea for that closing hook, so if you don't like it, don't blame me - blame him Tongue Bookworm Smiley Smiley Roll Eyes Wink Smiley!

P.S. Sorry for blaming you Joe, but I have to blame somebody for this poem Tongue Bookworm Smiley Smiley Roll Eyes Wink Smiley!

Seriously, I don't ever expect to get my poetry published. I know that several people think I should try.

However, it does make me feel good to share it with you on the forum, and with people that I know at work, etc. Glad ya'll like it. Smiley

You wanted a poem to read
So I tried to oblige with speed
You should not expect great prowess
This I must upon you impress

For though I try to entertain
My efforts may just cause you pain
It must be told, I'm sad to say
Poetry isn't my forte.



It's Joe's fault!!! *tattles*

It's too bad that grammar forbids it, 'cause
'That poetry ain't my forte'
would work so much nicer! Wink

For Joe:

You wanted a poem to read
So I tried to oblige with speed
You should not expect great prowess
This I must upon you impress

For though I try to entertain
My efforts may just cause you pain
It must be told, I'm sad to say
That poetry ain't my forte.

I'll take it! Plus, I'll grab your poem and do a number on it!

You asked for a poem to peruse
I tried to think up an excuse
'Straight' poetry just ain't my thing
Somehow it comes out amusing

I try to not act like a clown
But I just can't keep humor down
It must be said, but you all know
That poems are not my piano?

I like the English version better... Tongue Roll Eyes
