OK, you prolific poets... The only one who's made a request is Munda... She wants Pantoums... She gets pantoums...

Who's in???...

Having never before attempted this most difficult feat , I may have to consult
with the noted M.Marceau ( who as we all know was one of the greatest Pantou-Mimes of all times ). Hopefully the result of this collaboration will soon grace the pages of Nan's Decem-brrrr work-shop.

not sure if this is the right format or not...I think it is! Well here goes, my first time, think I'll do better with practice...

Lets Get Serious

"I don’t love you anymore!"
The old woman chuckles,
her eyes shine with tears.
What a tease!

The old woman chuckles,
"Such a funny, silly man!"
What a tease!
The very  reason I married you.

Such a funny, silly, man!
47 years of clever quips,
the very reason I married you?
or is it?

47 years of clever quips,
it’s his way of showing his affection-
or is it?
you can’t kid a kidder.

It’s his way of showing his affection,
always playing the fool.
You can’t kid a kidder,
our life has been a joke.

Always playing the fool,
her eyes shine with tears.
"Our life has been a joke,
I don’t love you anymore".

You know in every class there’s always that one kid who can never get anything right, no matter how hard he tries he always ends up failing and everything he does ends up smelling of the stuff you put on roses.

Well I’m here bucket and pen in hand clutching the closest thing to a Pantoum I’m ever likely to write. Where do you want it spreading (posting)? Do I tag it to this post, post it in a new thread in this Forum or stick it in Open?

Yes, I admit your general rule. That every poet is a fool:
But I myself may serve to show it. That every fool is not a poet.

Sorry I jumped the gun before the teacher even showed up!
