A Poem


Yes, this is a poem


I bet you’re pretty surprised


It doesn’t really have any purpose


This doesn’t paint any beautiful pictures either


It’s actually kind of boring… and you’re reading it


I apologize


It doesn’t have any humor in it


This poem is going nowhere


Honestly, it will probably continue on like this


No rhyming scheme


No topic


Nothing to address


There isn’t any intricate vocabulary that will impress you


This poem doesn’t contain anything like:


“And so the towering mountains rose over the majestic valley of Babylon”


or


“The glory of the River Rhine cast a shadow of darkness across Man’s heart”


You can stop any time


I’m pretty sure Ms. Mouw will not notice if you put down some generic comment


This was pretty much written because I wanted to try something new


That’s the background


Obviously it isn’t working out so well


Perhaps this would be a good time to stop


Then again one or two more lines wouldn’t


The requirement for this week was two pages


So I’ll keep adding on


Make it longer than it really is


And it would be pointless to stop midway


Gotta save those trees and whatnot


… Soooo, you’re still reading


“A” for effort I guess


Congrats! You have more commitment than I thought


Still not much going on though


Yes, this is a poor attempt to stall in case you haven’t noticed yet


I guess it’s better than some of the other stuff that’s out there


Should try to get this published, make millions


This is where it ends


Sorry


Filled up most the page


I fell accomplished


And you should to


You read it


But you were warned


Just sayin’


THE END
