If You Must be Tedious,
at Least be Mellifluous about It
In the immortal poet’s phrase,
No matter if the topic strays
From strictly epic or romantic
Off to something dull, pedantic
Or illogical, it sounds
Quite lovely in the swooping rounds
And swinging curvature of thought
The poet’s pretty words have got,
So if you must tell boring tales,

Isn’t it funny
How a bear likes honey?
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
I wonder why he does?

I think I might have to add more words to my vocabulary to comply with this poem. There you go again person. You told me to write big words that I don’t understand.

There was a black dog named Rosie
Who tried to bite someone’s toesies
She took a huge bite
Then ran out of sight
And left the poor guy with nine toesies

Hehe that’s funny. So if I use some pretty words in my blog and string them together fancy, maybe it won’t matter if the topic is on the dull side!

Wonderful swooping phrases and lilting rhythms do make a fitting poetic subject out of almost anything. You are quite correct here, Rumpy.
