And now a joke - argh!

orchidee

What's this - another 'Argh! poem

Well it's in the title

What's this rubbish?! lol

It's hardly poetry

 

Oh go on, have a couple of jokes

Tell me if ya laugh

Or tell me if ya never started laughing

As ya read them! lol

 

Oh, I dunno this metaphorical stuff

All is know is, they keep asking me

'Why did you met her for?'

A bit ungrammatical there, I know

 

And is a Haiku a foreign sneeze?

As in 'Hai-choo!'

And those iambic thingies

Aren't they summat to do with architectural columns?

Those pentameter wotsits!

 

Ohh, I'll laugh at these, my own jokes

Well, maybe no one else will!

Boohoo! LOL

 

And what's that long hippo......word?

Anything to do with actual hippos?!

              "If you hate pentameter wotsits, steer clear of Alexandrine or Trochaic Octameter. Trochees are almost like choking, no joke!" Shh...Obi! That's TMI! Sorry, he thinks blabbing is a Jedi Mind trick! 🤷‍♂️🤣

              • orchidee

                Not now Obi! lol. Who is Mr/Ms T.Octameter? An unusual first name there for him/her - Trochaic. lol.

                You should know that word Orchi I have told you many times it is Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.
