Homework WE 4/3/2013 - The Loner

Post by Peely » Tue Feb 19, 2013 1:42 pm

THE LONER
© John Peel 19/2/2013

He once was a loner who nobody knew –
now he’s a corpse going rotten.
If only he’d gone out and made a few friends,
he wouldn't be lying forgotten.
John Peel - The Man from Gilmore Creek

I really enjoy all the short pithy ones this week. :)

The short pithy ones can be just as much fun to write as the longer ones too.

Ooooh John :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: that's not a nice thing to say about the poor old bloke. He probably did his best - hope they don't put this on any ones headstone :o

Very witty though - clever man :D All these short poems make mine look like I was suffering verbal diarrhoea (as usual) :shock:

Cheers

Glad you enjoyed it Maureen

Hopefully not my epitaph. Still plenty of time to have a go at a short one, if you would like to try.

Glad you enjoyed it Heather

After reading your beautiful poem, I felt I had to lower the standard a little.

Regards

You never lower standards John. I enjoyed the laugh.

Thank you Heather

I meant lower the standards by resorting to humour :)

G'day Terry

Maybe not totally, but then again, maybe he hasn't been found either :)
