Notes About The Poem

For the 'Humorous poems # 2 contest' Poetry Contest of Jay Narain

One Crazy Dream

A big dog is pooping out on my lawn.
One I hate – Bill Gates – appears from nowhere.
He scoops up the poop and places it on
a stick as he views me in my underwear.

He chases me, scaring me with that crap.
And suddenly I’m in a sea far from land.
Thinking I’ve escaped from Bill Gates’ trap,
I swim toward the beach. A shark’s on my hand!

People who’d seen me had screamed and then fled.
I’m thinking the shark had made them afraid,
then notice I’m topless and I turn red.
Where did the shark go? Do I need first aid?

I look down and see that I’ve got no feet.
Bill Gates is the shark! To sea I retreat.
A mermaid I am now, cute as can be.
Ryan Gosling, Merman, comes to save me!

Sounds like the typical Gate's nightmare...luckily this one was a dream. Funny for the contest!
