Ass Poetica: for Oli
Written by fellpony
09 August 2007
A tongue in cheek response (with Apologies to Joyce Kilmer) to Oli's Arse Poetica. Again, a 20 minute effort. I rest my case.

I hope that I shall never see
that poem based on midnight pee –
the hungry words that are impressed
to rhyme, in modern style, with breast;
aesthetics making God exist.
Here’s hoping you’ll at least be kissed
upon the mouth (and not the arse)
by critics who can grammar parse!
Excuse convulsions in my verse:
meaning can Yoda have inverse.
At two A.M on any night
No poem’s going to be quite right.

I suddenly have to think of Shrek who had to 'safe his ass'... Donkey. Perhaps he's as green as Yoda?

Did you really HAVE to make me regurgitate the thought of John Charles Thomas singing the Kilmer ? or if it come to that the actual poem ? 
 
I use regurgitate as a deliberate choice of word . 
 
Good parody though

I wish I could write a comedy sketch in 20 minutes or even 36!

You'll notice though Jane, I don't claim it's any good!

"that poem based on midnight pee" -- does this imply beer at 10 p.m.? :)
