tomato
I used to pick them in my parents’ Iowa garden
we sliced them and put sugar on them
that made them delectable to me
tomato sauce
we used it on our Chef-boy-ar-dee boxed pizzas
it was all bubbly and sometimes burned my tongue
or the roof of my mouth
tomato
a term I used to hear applied to a young woman
meaning luscious, ripe, sexy,
this term originated in the twenties
when women began wearing form-fitted clothing
tomato
can mean marijuana
or a stupid act or a stupid person
I frankly have never heard tomato used either way
and I hope I never do
tomato
I love it hot, and I love it cold
it makes my chili delicious
I love adding slices to my grilled cheese sandwiches
I accidentally ate, consumed, chew in,
A thesaurus, a synonymopedia.
And ever since then, at that moment, by that time,
My words, vocabulary, sayings just sublime.
So when I talk, speak, utter a voice to someone,
I use informed, spiced, educated English.
I use big, humangous, enormous words
And synonyms like 'food carrier' instead of dish.
And instead of idiot, fool, stupid person,
I found better words like Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump...
And I now use words like geographic waste disposal centre
Instead of cheap words like rubbish dump.
It's awesome, fantastic, awe-inspiring,
How my language, grammar, vocabulary has developed.
It really is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,
How my wisdom, philosophical understanding has emerged!
I love the word 'stupid'.
I really do!
By using this word
I can denote
actions
that are illogical
lack common sense
appear absurd
or …. are just plain 'stupid'.
I do not use the word 'moron'.
(The word 'moron' is defined in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as "a foolish or stupid person")
I also don't use 'idiot'.
(The Oxford Dictionary defines 'idiot' as "a stupid person")
No
just 'stupid'
just the action or actions
nothing else
nothing more.
(I hope this poem is not stupid)
You know world is selfish
Why you expect?
You know there's nothing like true love
Why you want it?
You know money is more valuable than humans
Why it bothers you?
You are the most stupid person in the world!
God who is eternal, giving unconditional love
You hardly think of him
Humans who are ephemeral, selfish
You spend your day serving them
You are most stupid
Most foolish
A long night for me
That mampara dove
Is crying again
Mampara-a stupid person
The past is good and the past is bad,
it makes you happy as well as sad.
When you feel the people ignoramus towards you,
just smile and walk away as if they are too good to you.
I know the world is idyllic without me,
as I'm not concerned with any of there likings.
I never feel alone ,
As i know God is walking beside me to home.
I pray to God for my past to not to come back,
As the future waits for me with the happy arrivals I have.
This feeling of nostalgia always hurts me,
But I'm happy that at least one person is there with me.
And I'm such a stupid person,
that in this world I expect people to understand my situation.
But It's alright as someday my life will take a change soon,
And the happy days will come back with the arrival of the new moon.
A flathead once carried in his tuckerbag a grinder
So hungry he sat at a fair dinkum binder
But he won't trust his eyes
When a fellow donkey arrives
To eat up all the remainder
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aussie-Talk: A tuckerbag is a bag carrying food by a swagman (= hobo)
A binder is a solid meal
Fair dinklum means excellent
A flathead is a fool
A donkey is a stupid person
this is what you got
it's what he gave you
you want more to bad
your quest for knowledge
is killing me
it's killing the world
don't like it to bad
there got to be a heaven
because you can't accept
you own death
to bad
o god show me what to do
i can't find my way
that's why you can cry
not good enough to bad
sit down shut up
o now that's not nice
well yea to bad
in your search for god
you loss all sense
of who he is
if he's got something for you
he'll let you know
not good enough
you got it
to bad
this is written to inspire
because when you come to one
and look at the world
all you see is a hole lot of stupid
and that the truth
if you don't like it
well
TO BAD
