Poem Title:
Poem
Probably occurred about mid semester in 2018 Epic perhaps, there was a missed opportunity? From a challenge contest to pen another poem But this is stuff that men say in an asylum At the time my ideas were a jumble of mess Could this be part of a hero's quest? The state governor jerry was speaking on campus An acquaintance shared a seat reserved for our class Humpty Dumpty is failing down Failing down, failing down Humpy Dumpy is failing down My fair lady Diddle diddle dumplin Those days are gone Diddle diddle dumplin That ain't John My fair lady Hickory clock is out of time Sirens call, forgot to rhyme No one listens, no one minds My fair lady Didn’t want to attract attention What my mind wished to mention And the media’s condescension You will see me in the dictionary, academically “Glean, an unclean leper between Samaria and Galilee" So I put my head down, smiled with a frown, walked away, On top of that, hail fell from clouds dark and gray Humpty Dumpty is failing down Failing down, failing down Humpy Dumpy is failing down My fair lady Diddle diddle dumplin Those days are gone Diddle diddle dumplin That ain't John My fair lady Hickory clock is out of time Sirens call, forgot to rhyme No one listens, no one minds My fair lady But what I failed to say that day "Hello world. My name is J" "One moment of your time" (Got to think of a rhyme) "Sixty seconds is all I need" If he agreed The icebreaker joke I would have spoke "What does Pink Floyd and George Bush both share in common? I cannot breathe! A Derek Zoolander quote about a future problem" (Pff. Today’s accusation) (The confusion?) "Crickets" (ovation) (Writing has its limitation) "But when you get it...it’s lightning on mural’s foundation" "My actual question is, if a plague struck the morrow, Linked to a foul chi fellow" "With a made-up place, land of Gohan From some lab institution in Wuhan" "And you had to wear an M-95 mask With your power and task" "Would you close the state for weeks, months, or years? Thank you for your time (cheers)" Humpty Dumpty is failing down Failing down, failing down Humpy Dumpy is failing down My fair lady Diddle diddle dumplin Those days are gone Diddle diddle dumplin That ain't John My fair lady Hickory clock is out of time Sirens call, forgot to rhyme No one listens, no one minds My fair lady Sing a song of golden lies Of the morrow crowns and paradise cries As one shoe is on and the other is gone So diddle dumplin, get out ! And move along So, is Jesus the Christ? The crowns and kings’ horses rise This jester sings golden lies For one shoe is on and the other is gone So diddle dumplin move along Humpty Dumpty is failing down Failing down, failing down Humpy Dumpy is failing down My fair lady Diddle diddle dumplin Those days are gone Diddle diddle dumplin That ain't John My fair lady Hickory clock is out of time Sirens call, forgot to rhyme No one listens, no one minds My fair lady
