George Dance

Upanishad

What is the good of loving our desires
In this foul-smelling, insubstantial body,
Of bone, skin, muscle, marrow, semen, flesh,
Tears, sweat, feces, urine, bile, and wind?

What is the good of loving our desires
When we can see the whole world is decaying,
That gnats, mosquitoes, all things that are living,
The very trees and rocks, arise and perish?

What is the good of loving our desires
When we can see the drying up of oceans,
the fall of mountains, and the earth's submergence,
Even the disappearance of the stars?

What is the good of lovng our desires?
Deliver me, and let me not exist.

George Dance

Upanishad

What is the good of loving our desires
in this foul-smelling, insubstantial body
of bone, skin, muscle, marrow, semen, flesh,
tears, sweat, feces, urine, bile, and wind?

What is the good of loving our desires
when we can see the whole world is decaying,
that gnats, mosquitoes, every living creature,
the very trees and rocks, arise and perish?

What is the good of loving our desires
when we can see the drying up of oceans,
the fall of mountains, and the earth's submergence,
even the disappearance of the stars?

What is the good of loving our desires?
Deliver me, and let me not exist.

What is the good of loving pizza
with its dough so sauced? Cheeses
cover bubbles.

What is the good of loving pizza
(but pepper packets are free)?
Sausage, pepperoni, onions
and rocks, arise mighty pineapple!

What is the good of loving pizza
when the dough mountains explode
and blow out the stars.

What is the good of loving pizza?
Deliver my pizza, and let me eat!!

Good, but you're rhythm's off in a few places; that's a blank verse
sonnet. How about:


What is the good of loving to eat pizza
when every slice has 700 calories
not to mention all the oily trans fats
and tons and more tons of cholesterol?

What is the good loving to eat pizza
when the stuff is just so damned expensive,
last night I had to fork out $20
for just six slices and eight bony wings?

What is the good of loving to eat pizza
when they make you wait for 40 minutes
(unless, like half the time, the driver ends up
lost, and the pizza winds up cold?)

What is the good of loving to eat pizza?
Deliver a salad and a diet Coke.

Mine wasn't a sonnet. Probably a poem.

Yeah, it sometimes gives the poem an awkward stop-start feeling in the
reading when there isn't a rhyme at the end to follow from in the unrhymed
/flowing/ poetry.

you misspelled the word "amused."

but you're always hilarious when you want to sound like you know something. you
believe you're contributing something significant to the conversation, and all
you're doing is looking really ignorant.

and stupid.

and hilarious. heh.

Either way, you sure didn't come here for the poetry... your only
purpose is to sniff along behind me, obsessively "amused".

are you implying that you're here for the poetry, dockery? now that IS amusing.
that's the biggest lie you've told, and you've told some whoopers.

and why do you respond to my every post? seems you're doing enough sniffing for
the both of us.

most sincerely,

Sure, I write it, post it and read it, while you're obviously here
only for your daily dose of "Will Dockery" and nothing else...
although you do seem to be developing a crush on Dave... heh.

The evidence for this is that you're in this thread but haven't
written /one word/ about the poem posted here, only sniffing behind
me, as always.

Carry on, you know you can't help yourself.

Nostalgia, maybe.

At which point, OB will reply
"Nostalgie de la boue",
And all the trolls will have a laugh
Though none will have a clue.

Not at all. I expected those who understood the reference to think to
themselves, "Just shows that I'm not really a troll."

It's fun to see just how big a fool you've become.

Not at all... just pointing out what a jeering fool you've become.
