The Poems I Never Wrote

The poems I never wrote are 
all here on my page on this site 
I mean it 
I plagiarised every one of them 
from some wannabe poet
that got expelled back in pre school 
I’ve an excellent memory 
and am a recalcitrant liar 
But now I’m coming clean

No time for homework 
I just wanted to play 
Teacher beat me badly 
for wasting my life away 
I enjoyed my childhood 
those were the days 
Still to win this contest 
a backhander I will pay 
Poem below is my own
so now I’ll have my say

Ba Ba black sheep
have hue - buckled my shoe 
Three four -the cow jumped-
everywhere a moo moo!

The end

Sotto Poet Date: 10/7/2022 3:18:00 PM Thank you very much for the laughter, David! Excellent work. Your poetry has a pleasant tone, and I appreciate the warped perspective it provides. A striking divergence from the gloom. Everyone could benefit from a little lightness right now.

L Milton Hankins Date: 10/7/2022 9:17:00 AM Cute and very, very clever my friend. I enjoyed it from beginning to end, particularly the last stanza.

Jenna Logan Date: 10/7/2022 5:32:00 AM You're not the plagiarizing kind, David. So that was a lie, although you're not a liar either. You need a little brushing up on nursery rhymes, although I think yours is hilarious the way you've combined a few of them. A+ for originality! Login to Reply Jenna Logan Date: 10/7/2022 10:49:00 AM I like the slanted hue and view of your poem, David, and I'm glad you posted it. wink. David Kavanagh Date: 10/7/2022 6:01:00 AM Ha I knew you’d get this one Jenna, all a bit of fun I wasn’t going to post it, but thought what the hell, we all need a bit of levity, you’re right my nursery rhymes have a bit of a rusty hue to them, cheers David

Valsa George Date: 10/7/2022 5:24:00 AM Really enjoyed the humor of it, David ! Well done.... ! Quite a change from the serious type. Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 10/7/2022 5:54:00 AM Heya Valsa, oh I always have a little serious edge to my poems, Craig will know, but he did say have fun, so I did, thank you so much for commenting on my Shenanigans, glad you enjoyed, cheers David
