Today I wrote a poem. It’s called:
Nothing Rhymes With Krishna
Take it easy Jesus
You’ve got what it takes to please us
Don’t send no more diseases
We’re just your average geezersTake a drink Mohammed
It’s time we all got hammered
Until we staggered and stammered
Like six-tequila-slammeredLet’s have a party Ghandi
You sat there in your undies
For so long it wasn’t funny
If you want I’ll lend you some moneyby Mark
I particularly like the way it reaches across cultural boundaries… er, in it’s grotesque inappropriateness. Now all I have to do now is find a coffee house and I’ll have it made in the shade. Would anyone else like to share a poem here, or on their blog? Here’s my chance to start a meme!

The seriously lame poem meme?

Seen a poetry meme going bout the rounds. Can’t place the origin of all these frowns.

Er, what about Allah?

Jesus Christ, Allah!
Can your zealots get any dumber?
Wanting to blow up the land of koalas
All for a paradise slumber
Of fat men and their cucumbers.

Nails - yep! come on then.
Switch - U rock. Way to go. Where’s the 76 virgins?
Chuffed - nothing rhymes with allah either, except for koala as Switch showed us. (But I realised last night that ‘parishoner’ rhymes with Krishna.) And wow, an LJ reader 0_o Figure it out.

All praises to Dean Moler!
(He’s only half bi-polar)
He’s subbing in for J.C.,
Who’s retiring on the QT.
When sin is tempting you,
Ask “What would Dean Moler do”?

wtf? You’ll have to explain who Dean Moler is for sure.

Nothing rhymes with Krishna?
You obviously are unaware of the work of George O’Dowd who, several years ago penned this classic work…
“BOW DOWN MISTER”
“From Bombay to Bangalore
all the Hindus know the score
if you wanna live some more
hare, hare, hare,
If you do not take the vow
you can eat the sacred cow
you’ll get karma anyhow
hare, hare, hare
Bow down mister
hare rama, hare krishna
bow down mister
we say radha syam” etc etc…
So there you go, mister rhymes beautifully with Krishna.

Oh yeh, and this one too by George Harrison which rhymes kirshan with brahma, maheshwara and parabrahma etc…
“Hm, my lord (hallelujah)
My, my, my lord (hare krishna)
My sweet lord (hare krishna)
My sweet lord (krishna krishna)
My lord (hare hare)
Hm, hm (gurur brahma)
Hm, hm (gurur vishnu)
Hm, hm (gurur devo)
Hm, hm (maheshwara)
My sweet lord (gurur sakshaat)
My sweet lord (parabrahma)
My, my, my lord (tasmayi shree)
My, my, my, my lord (guruve mamah)
My sweet lord (hare rama)”
