So
no
I am
not a poet
Nor will I ever be
I know
No matter how
I lay the words out
centered or justified
I simply cannot justify
even trying because
I still don’t get Shakespeare
DiCaprio or otherwise
and my entire understanding of classical music
comes from Bugs Bunny, but
I do like the rhythm of words
and repetition and maybe one day,
historians will look back on what I’ve written and agree that,
if you stand back and squint, it looks kind of like a candlestick holder. Or a rocket.

….or a chess piece. Very creative and humorous.
Or a hypodermic needle filled with an anesthetic.
Yes, zzzzz.
Long Mondays will do that even to the best of fans
Actually, Deborah, I meant the “poem” itself. A snooze.
Oh great, now you’re proving my mother right (“One of these days young lady, your sassy Monday comments are going to get mis-interpreted and make a grown man feel bad about his first foray into fake poetry”) Darn it. My bad. Funny poem. Really. In a good way.
Sassy liar.
Bravo!
Congratulations. You made me smile. Love it.
Hey, Bugs Bunny rocks the classics! Never forget that…ever. We must stand united against the ‘toons of the modern age which really aren’t cartoons…they’re more like…I can’t even say it.
You sir have the uncanny talent to present humour in a simple yet almost perfect way.
Well done.
In other words, you’re a funny bloke.
Kind of you to say. Too kind. In fact, kind of not true, but I’ll take it.
While it may not be true to you, you must remember everyone’s opinion is his/her own and is the truth for him/her.
As such, my opinion of you is that you’re quite humorous.
Thus, to me it is true, no matter what anyone else says.
Touché. And thank yoú.
I have to admit I get a little choked up when I read something so romantic.
I’m with you on learning about classical music from Bugs Bunny, as well as Opera.
It kind of looks like a garden gnome with his arms outstretched!
. . . or her arms outstretched. no gender bias here!
That is a poem right there! What a great start… very funny and honest, I like it!
A start and an end, mercifully. Quoth the raven, “Nevermore.”
See, you have the soul of a poet. I can tell. You should write more — you know, broaden your horizons and all that jazz.
You so are no Robert Frost, and I know Robert Frost…and I don’t like Robert Frost, so it’s a good thing you are no Robert Frost. I’m sorry…what was the question again?
It’s as good as a lot of poetry I see these days, and more honest because it doesn’t take itself seriously.
The amazing thing is that Mel Blanc was able to sing opera in character voice – not just one character voice, but two. Actually, classical music is alive and well – it’s called original movie scores and there’s a lot to know and to love there. (I still say the score for “Inception” should have won the oscar…)
