For Mia
By Katanga
23 April 2008
Mia has just been very kind to me, so this is in tribute to her, though she may not like the 'sentiment'! Ho!

I couldn't resist sharing this  - I'm still a schoolboy at heart, and this sort of puerile joke still sends me into paroxysms (sp?) of utterly helpless giggles.

Sorry to lower the tone!


The Bottom of the World

When I fell out of love with you
My love fell out of me
And I shed tears
For years and years
And the bottom fell out of my world

Last night I went for a curry
To purge the sorrow inside
I went to the loo
Still thinking of you
And the world fell out of my bottom.

Vindaloo?

It must have been vindaloo you ate! :grin My recent rantings seem to inspire poems that have profound themes. The older I get, the more I realise I can't get away from my genes. It is so Korean of me to rave on about such "organic" matters. I will try to exercise restraint from now on - but I doubt my big mouth will let me. :grin  
 
Mia :p

this would work well in a card - if they invented Breaking Up Day, Regret Day, or something along those lines...gotta be a moneyspinner? So much of the verse in cards is so unrealistically positive...what we're really looking for is something like... 
 
'I live with you and think you're alright',  
 
or  
 
'I think your breasts are lovely, at least - better than mine... be my valentine'.

There's a challenge - the "what we really want to say in a greetings card" poem.
World and bottoms

As one who , to you lot in your hemisphere , lives at the bottom of the world , I might remark that I once read , on a Newcatle ( UK ) toilet wall the graffito : 
 
If you feel the bottom has dropped out of your world , drink Newcastle Brown Ale ; and you will feel that the world has dropped out of your bottom 
 
Sorry to be repetitious .

Mia - You're such a good sport. :roll  
 
The world fell out of my bottom. Kind of reminds me of a story out teacher in high school related to us. The king of France visited the king of England. As he was about to leave, he gave his deepest regards saying, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, and my wife's bottom, too.  
 
We all thought it hilarious needless to say. :grin

Beatrice! That is truly hilarious!!! :grin Is it a true story? Often people who are not native English speakers, say outrageous things without knowing it. Some say I do, too. I just don't know it. 
 
Mia :grin
