So You Can Burp Out Loud
I wrote a silly little poem about nothing very deep,
It was only meant to make you laugh and certainly never weep.
So I posted it on the poetry site for everyone else to read,
I could have hoped for a better placement, this I will concede.
The poem right after mine was titled, “That’s Why Christ Died on the Cross,”
It detailed at some length how we have benefited by His sacrificial loss.
The poem right before mine was called, “It’s the Reason Why We Love,”
Which became a distraction when my poem’s title came after it and above.
I had written a ditty about the time that I taught you how to swallow air,
Remember you said that you wanted to burp any time you’d care?
I titled my poem appropriately and it made me oh so proud,
You see that’s why I entitled it, “So You Can Burp Out Loud.”
But now when you read the list your eye catches something in the crowd,
“That’s Why Christ Died on the Cross,” “So You Can Burp Out Loud.”
It’s just as bad as when my poem is the one that’s up above,
“So You Can Burp Out Loud,” “It’s the Reason Why We Love.”
The more I think about it the second one’s too close to be ignored,
For the first one, however, I’ll need to offer up my apologies to the Lord.
