David Kavanagh Poet Kwansaba

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

Ha David Kavanagh October 9, 2022 at 8:28 AM All a bit of fun Deb, and even better to get a few laughs, delighted you enjoyed the poem I never wrote, cheers David

Sotto Poet October 7, 2022 at 3:18 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. David Kavanagh October 8, 2022 at 1:44 AM Warped perspective indeed Lasaad, I like to roast myself every now and then, enough serious matters going on in life trying to bring us down, cheers David

L Milton Hankins October 7, 2022 at 9:17 AM Cute and very, very clever my friend. I enjoyed it from beginning to end, particularly the last stanza. David Kavanagh October 7, 2022 at 11:12 AM Last stanza is pure genius Milton, I’m loosing my touch with reality lol, thanks so much for stopping by, cheers David

Jenna Logan October 7, 2022 at 5:32 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! Jenna Logan October 7, 2022 at 10:49 AM I like the slanted hue and view of your poem, David, and I'm glad you posted it. wink. David Kavanagh October 7, 2022 at 6:01 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 October 7, 2022 at 5:24 AM Really enjoyed the humor of it, David ! Well done.... ! Quite a change from the serious type. David Kavanagh October 7, 2022 at 5:54 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
