Chapter (9) A CYNICAL REFLECTION ON ROBERT BURN'S FAMOUS POEM.

JUST FOR A BIT OF FUN.

A CYNICAL REFLECTION ON ROBERT BURNS FAMOUS POEM.

 

 

O my Luve's like a red, red rose,........ (Too many hours under the sun lamp.)

That's newly sprung in June: ............ (It was April actually.)

O my Luve's like the melodie, ........... (She was more like the Rocky Horror show.)

That's sweetly play'd in tune...............( The only tune I ever got to play was the last post.)

 

As fair art thou, my bonie lass, ........... ( Fair? Are you kidding me.)

So deep in luve am I; ........................... ( Look I was drunk. Okay?)

And I will luve thee still, my dear,....... ( The light of day soon changed that.)

Till a' the seas gang dry. ......................( Not enough water on the planet my friend.)

 

Till a' the seas gang dry , my dear,. .....(I've said it before and I stick by it.)

And the rocks melt wi' the sun; ..........( She could melt rocks with a stare.)

And I will luve thee still, my dear, ......( Don't even think it.)

While the sands o' life shall run. ........( The only thing running was me.)

 

And fare-thee-weel, my only Luve ! ....( I just screamed BYE.)

And fare-thee-weel, a while! ...............( Take some time to reflect.)

And I will come again, my Luve, .........( Yeah when hairs grow on a Ping Pong ball.)

Tho' 'twere ten thousand mile!............( Double that and I'd still want more.)

Hahahaha. Simply loved it. I was feeling low and this poem really made me laugh, I thank you so much for that 😀

It was my pleasure reading this.

That really made me laugh. Thank you!

Thanks you for the comment. So pleased you enjoyed it. It was written as an antidote to all the mushy stuff we normally write about love. Just a bit of fun really. Did you read my Love Hurts yet?

Haaa, I love the "other side" of romance. I have been criticized in the past for having healthy cynicism about that subject. I smile through everything I've read of you. Thank you, sir!

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

Glad you liked it my friend. Been there and done that.

It was kind of fun. Robert Burns might have written his famous poem when he'd had a wee bit more of the brew thanusual...

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

I think that is probably true. i know he had a favourite pub he liked to drink in.

OMG that was so funny . it did make me laugh. well done :D

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

I wrote it for all those blokes like me, burned more than once by a woman. Mind if I find a lady I might change my mind.

What a pessimistic turn on that poem! LOL You should post this in the Black Valentine challenge in the Poetry Challenge Group.

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

Glad you like it. I might do that.
