So, today people are giving presentations about their hobbies or future career plans in my Spanish class. A guy does his on writing poetry and passes out one of his previously written poems <written in English>...The poem he passed out to everyone in the class, including the professor, reads: --------- Girl I know that you're fine and that you got a man and you got me on reserve; but I must say that our arrangement is starting to get on my last nerve. You've got to leave him alone and give me a real try - If you keep leading me on I just might have to say goodbye. The sex is great between the 2 of us is great, but the thing that I can't stand is that you keep messing with me and you decide to keep your other man. I remember the day that we first met. It is a day that I can't forget. I remember that day when you walked past me smelling so good, you bit your lip and looked me dead in my eye. We started a conversation, but it wasn't until we started seeing each other that you decided to tell me that you had another guy. At first I was cool with giving you some penis on the side. Well, I've got to tell you somthing and I can not hide it. I can't stand what we're doing, because it's wrong. You've got to leave him, and baby please don't make me wait too long. -------- that is the poem, word for word.
"Let's just replace 'hail of shrapnel' and 'scar tissue' with 'string of pearls' and 'raspberry scones'."
I knew a girl, who did have serious emotional problems, write this interpretation of "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" prayer a while ago. Now I lay me down to sleep With the boy across the street In nine months my belly will rise I can't wait to see my mom's eyes Daddy's little girl got knocked up With a little kid, now I'm stuck
I thought that was a standard issue prayer in Arkansas? Is that her cousin across the street? Sorry, hadn't laid down any Arkansas smack in awhile.
LMAO! The line that struck me was, "The sex is great between the 2 of us is great." I can understand making a mistake like that in a post, say, but when you're writing poetry, I'd think you'd put a little more effort, looking for meter or rhyme -- at least reread the thing.
Man, I've been sharing this poem with everyone that I can think of. My roommate and I, who are in the same class, have been laughing about this non stop. BTW, this is the 3rd semester of a 3 semester Spanish requirement for a BA at my school...It's even funnier if you knew the guy that wrote this poem. He's the type of guy that you'd imagine being a 3O <he's at least in his late 2O's> year old virgin...and here he trots out this poem as his masterpiece.
