GUESS WHO (2)
His head is empty as everyone knows
so take a big breath and blow up his nose
with your thumbs in his ears to control the sound
you can play the dumb blather for which he’s renowned.

Good one Michael.
Andy
Thanks Andy
Good write and pic M.
Miss Berles would be proud of me.
This pulls up a great picture in the mind and I could put a few faces on this poem. Michael you made me smile again and even chuckle and that deserves a fave
Thanks S - pleased it played a tune for you.
You are most welcome Michael there are few things as good as a laugh
Handmade paper, excellent! As for guessing, some names are unmentionable so as not to bloat their ego and publicity🙏🏻🕊️
Bloat their ego? Would I ever? Cheers argios
Michael, this carries a playful jab…quick setup, then that closing line brings it home with just enough edge. “Play the dumb blather for which he’s renowned” gives it character without dragging it out. Short, sharp, and fun. Well done and beautiful art, my friend...on handmade paper, no less. Rock on!. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks Tristan - yes I've been busy of late and just finishing off another batch of pots.
Nicely said. Your playful instructions given in the poem imply that this character can be controlled and made to sound foolish, emphasizing the theme of superficiality and the nature of communication.
A lovely observation - thank you for looking in.
