Joanna Mary John
(This is to celebrate Godawful Poetry Week Fortnight)
I dream of you, Mary John;
Night, evening, noon and morn:
Since the dreaded day I was born
In the yellow field of corn.
Joanna Mary John!
Mary piari piari John!
Where have you gone
On this very lousy, interminable, undesirable, loathsome, yellow August evening?
Mary John, you're like ice-cream,
You come each day in my dream,
Light up my day like sun's beam;
I write poetry filling paper-ream.
Joanna Mary John!
Mary meet-hi meet-hi John!
Where have you gone
On this lonely, drowsy, diabolical, amphibian, blue Thursday evening?
Like the chord to the song,
Like the rosogulla to the Bong,
Like the right to the wrong,
You're as beautiful as the day is long.
Joanna Mary John!
Mary misplaced simile John!
Where have you gone
On this ugly, sad, bad, mad, fad, cad twenty-first evening?
Update: To further celebrate, I thought I'd remind people of my earlier posts on poetry - here (an interpretation of Frei De Fisch's incomparable "Freedom from Early Morning Phlegm") and here (extraordinary concepts in recent Tamil film song lyrics).

Hail Imam Wapsoro
Your idea we borrow
And a small boon we do seek
That you post everyday of GP Week
Else our brow we will furrow.
*seriously funny*
meri piari meethi john etc.
Could this be a series too, pretty please? (a cherry on the top?)
I am inspired, seriously
With your poem curiously
Shall attempt one today, furiously
To make happy those who live lugubriously
Godawful enuff?
Shankari, I am honoured,
Varali, I'm cornered,
For my attempts at rhyme
Would amount to a crime!
Yes, priyambad, you're right,
You'd give the godawfullest quite a fight!
is godawfullness a virtue?
do poems have to rhyme?
or can they just be modern,
and pretend to know
the
secrets of
the unversed universe?
Most modern poetry
makes use
of a
bad
return key on
the computer of the person
typing
it.
"Mary piari piari John!"
Sheer brilliance!
Most modern poetry
...
typing
it.
We plead guilty. Quite shamelessly.
but we'd love to be able to rhyme, honestly.
:-)
@zigzackly
Thanks! We are honoured!
@varali
We love your Palayamkottai poems. Rhyme or no rhyme! Keep them coming...
Oh God... Brilliant, hilarious!!!
Lol @ "Mary piari piari john" That really was the icing on the cake for me!
I can't rhyme for nuts.. and if I try, it's so terrible that it wouldn't even be funny.. :)
Cheers to you though.. I enjoyed reading this.. Lightened up a dreary afternoon of studying..
Oh and just noticed this.. Ha ha ha ha...
"Most modern poetry

Like Varali said.
Sadly, one must admit guilt for being another perpetuator of that.. Wish we could rhyme though!
@mercury
Glad to lighten up dreary afternoons of studying! I seem to have found a niche area to concentrate on - bad rhyme. Hmmm. People take up all kinds of specialties these days.
Here's to godawful poetry, thanks Mami!
as I re-read those blogs, all of one breed, that I often read
I found some grime, a lot of whine and meaningless rhyme
I had always sighed that this hobby I prized was ill advised
But I am freed ‘cos they are my creed and they have agreed
@a ditty
Haha. I agree!
