I ate a rat! I ate a rat! But the rat squealed on me I ended up with a Delhi tummy I ate a rat Maybe the rat, he ate me! The rat ate me! The rat ate me! Me and my big, fat, round, tummy. Oh! The poor yesterday's healthy me was today's poor skinny sick me! Me and my poor skimmed tummy. And then... And then, I ate a cat! I ate a cat! The cat followed the rat inside me The cat, she ate the rat inside me Oh yes, the cat was my pied piper Oh yes, my tummy was the city of Hamelyn The cat helped me! The cat helped me! But I did not eat a fish that I had promised to the cat, her food, favourite catfish. Not at all did it help my tummy! For the cat was simply too heavy Heavier than lead, weighed my tummy Almost in a bursting spree, was me. And I burst! And I burst! Into squeals of tickled laughter As the rat inside the cat began to squeal. I laughed, I laughed, I laughed. I laughed as loud as loudness itself I laughed as much and as far as I could And then... And then, I cried, I cried and stayed in a cry For my tummy exploded like a balloon And there lay exposed, I - a dead baboon! === a pure fun poem, find a meaning if you may === === please tell me if you like it or loathe it === |

Uhmmm... Sudhir... I'm scared now! LOL Just kidding, actually this was a very interesting poem. (Though I'm glad I haven't eaten yet...) I can see this as an overall metaphor, but the fringes are a little bit frayed as if I don't have the whole picture/story here. I'll have to give this some thought. But not boring, I'll give you that! |
