Just having fun with words.

 NONSENSE

 

I’m on a fast track,

To slow down.

I’m working hard,

To play around.

 

I’ll hurry up,

And take my time.

I’m over the hill,

In my prime.

 

I’m going in circles,

To walk a straight line.

I’ll eat like pig,

As I lightly dine.

 

I’ll get to the bottom,

To be on top.

I’ll keep moving,

So I can stop.

 

I’ve got a bird’s eye view,

That’s for the birds.

And it’s perfectly clear,

These are nonsense words.

I love playing with words too... ...hence why I have written so many limericks, not to mention many poems too. Thank you for sharing, Michael. Love and peace,

A very clever set of incongruities, Michael. I would expect nothing less from you. Excellent and thought-provoking, and far from nonsense.

Your nonsense makes a lot of sense. But your play of words divine.

I was just about to write my poem today when I read this version that is much better than mine. I will go ahead and write it anyway, even though you will see similarities. :-(

The Wholly Book of Genesis by Jay Dubya

The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
