YESTEROW IS TOMODAY
Yesterday is yesterday
tomorrow’s yet to come
two day is only one today
if judged by rule of thumb
for yes today was yesterday
tomorrow my fine chum.
POETS STATEMENT
For the inspiration behind this poem I have to thank AP who posted a great poem by way of a comment against the poem which I published yesterday. I must add that this poem is not intended in any way as a reflection of AP’s super piece. Owing to the complex nature of this short piece I felt the following simple explanation would not be amiss and would aid the reader to fully appreciate the lack of thinking unprocess behind the write.
Having been thus inspired I determined to write a poem encompassing a triumph of disorder debased in principle upon a tragedy of passing time. The inner message contains a sense of failing on the dawn of a new order. As temporal oojamaflips become distilled through practice it is my hope that anyone reading work will be left with a testament, not to the passage of gassage, but to the passage of time.

I'm all of an oojamaflip trying to work out if it's yesterday, today, or tomorrow, right now?! I knew I wouldn't be able to work it out! heehee.
It's the day after the day before I wrote the verse - or is it the day before the day after - or maybe it was yesterday - not sure....,.!
Stand clear of that 'gassage'. Depends what end one is talking out of. Talking out of one's mouth or one's.......... (swoon!)
oooooooooooo Jammies slip.......... bad thing. Today, tomorrow or yesterday! Told you about the artwork at the Reader's Digest earlier..... there were two Modigliani's at the end of two long corridors that ran off the reception area - his melted lady - so extraordinary up close and from afar!
Thanks Lorna - by the way I hope the explanation was of help.
THANKS MIKE ~ Tautology and semantics are the playing ground of "Smart Poets" and often involve the mine field of English spelling and pronunciation ! To help my American Friends and others for whom the Queen's English is NOT their first lingo ~ I often write phonetically and then get castigated by the MPS Control Police !
I left my GAFF an' went to the CAFF
We all had a HAFF an' a LAFF
Jim came in ~ He'd not had a BAFF
TAFF said ~ He smell like GIRAFF !
Said a boy to his teacher one day
WRIGHT has WRITTEN ~ WHEELWRIGHT wrong today
The teacher replied ~ staring horrified
RIGHT ~ WRIGHT WRITE WHEELWRIGHT RIGHT
RIGHT RIGHT away !
Thanks for sharing BRIAN
Love the Christmas Isle carvings
You carry on writing as you do - with tongue firmly planted in left cheek I often make the point that I was born English, I speak English (RP of course) and therefore I don't have an accent - it's all the others who do 🙂 🙂 🙂 I do love cockney though and was brought up by a father who used CRS all the time despite not having a cockney accent.
Cockney rhyming slang is spoke
By any proper cockney bloke
And it really is a load of cobblers
To say it’s spoke by language scholars
Cobblers awls;
load of balls
testicles.
I've read awl this now. And it's getting nearer tomorrow. I'm waiting for tomorrow, but it never comes. When it gets here, it's 'today!. Strange that. Hmm.
It's almost too late to be early so I guess it'll arrive too early to be late.
Michael,
I enjoyed the write and artwork!
Now I understand what you told me yesterday! A SUPER posting! Thank you!
~Laura~
So pleased you like them Laura - it was my explanation that did the trick no doubt.
Your explanation was fine; but when I read your posting, I was thinking more of the remark I made the other day about going backwards! Your words made a lot of sense!

I enjoyed your poem and your art prints very much! Unlike anything I've seen!
