Jannie Breedt Poet Limerick

Nasal Fluid

Us humans
The dumbest and most genial creatures on Earth
Having eaten from the forbidden tree of knowledge

I could quite easily write a work of genius
Or likewise perform the dumbest act of all
Yes - I could sit here and imagine that
I could do both in fact
Already enacted one super successfully
The other there is still to do

But lifes a *****
I am not saying which
The knowledge hangs there in mid air
Like nasal fluid urgently needing to reverse so...
( sniff)

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser January 30, 2017 at 3:13 AM Jannie, do correct me if am wrong... limerick maybe is not the right form for this.. or maybe limericks can also be written as like this? however, the poem's message is a remarkable.. :) have a pleasant day, Olive Eloisa :) Jannie Breedt January 30, 2017 at 4:58 AM You are absoluetely right Olive.

Ahmed Sheik Koya January 23, 2017 at 4:16 PM Lol. You are right Jannie and well put. We are such a contradiction. We failed to recognize our creator and crucified Him. I am so glad that Gods love is unconditional. Jannie Breedt January 25, 2017 at 4:42 AM Hi Ahmed, are you well? Ty for commenting. Yes we are extremely capable of fantastic acts of faith and degradation .
