Ivor Kos Poet Verse

My Hovercraft Is Full of Eels

I'll try to tell you without my usual cant
that all I wanted was to go sailing with
Sherry Saturday morning but I can't!
My hovercraft is full of eels!

The watchman phoned when I was lying  
in bed to notify me of this.
I was shocked to find he wasn't lying!
My hovercraft is full of eels!

My good-will has been weakened
because of this horrid event
which completely ruined my weekend.
My hovercraft is full of eels!

These morbid creatures are serious
party-poopers. Remember!: Their
electricity is deleterious.
My hovercraft is full of eels!

My beloved Birthday present invaded by
these heinous monsters! I will have to buy  
a new one 'cause to this one I must say bye!
My hovercraft is full of eels!

Ghastly! You don't know how this feels!
My hovercraft is full of eels!

Jake Ponce May 19, 2014 at 8:25 PM Ivo, you impressed me again with a tug of war between biting humor and really cool poetic execution. I can just imagine the horror that occurred in your hovercraft. How'd they get in there in the first place? :O

Jan Allison May 13, 2014 at 4:37 PM Very humouros write Ivo - eels must be 'eelly eelly evil' to do this to you! Hugs as ever my friend Jan xxxx

Carolyn Devonshire May 10, 2014 at 2:23 PM Dear Ivo, This is one of the most creative and humorous poems I've ever read. Caught an eel once and he didn't bother me, so send your invaded hovercraft my way. So witty! Love, Carolyn

Andrea Dietrich May 8, 2014 at 10:05 PM IVo, I just figured out who you remind me of. A Dr. Seuss for adults!! You are so fun with your style. Really liked this one.

David William Breidenthal May 8, 2014 at 8:34 PM Random, but clever, duuuude. Awesome job and keep up the excellent, poetic, genius work. Creative and nicely written out. Indeed, I enjoyed this one. Have a brilliant end of the week and unwind on the weekend, despite the loss of your b-day present. Love the repetition btw (by the way). -DWB

Poet Destroyer A May 7, 2014 at 10:15 PM about your poem: ha I wish I knew what a Hovercraft is... Maybe it's a boat, cause why else would they be eels in it. Sad it happened to your birthday present. Love Linda
