Opposites

Do you know anyone like this? Spill the beans.

For you who swears that black is white,

who says the sun shines in the night,

who deems the stars come out at dawn,

who states the dead have just been born.

Why do you love to play the clown?

If I say up then you'll say down.

If I say boo then you'll say shoo,

so what the hell is wrong with you?

This is golden. These are questions that will perplex the human mind when handling people and truth be told, answers to these questions would not yield any solutions. Newer ways to contradict and counter would emerge. But that's fun- sometimes. Who wants the other to agree, all the time? Except in the boudoir, ofc.
Good flow of thoughts, better flow of rhythm.

Cheers!

Thank you Mallika. I agree it is far more interesting when there is a difference of opinion, but when someone is doing it deliberately to wind you up, then it becomes annoying :) I appreciate your thoughts on this. Thank you.

I've always found that people who think you are writing about them are vain, shallow and arrogant. But is this about me? :)

This poem is 5 years old, and I have been on this site about 5 months. Laughing my head off Lorry. Some might say, if the cap fits, wear it. I just love your humour.

I was laughing when I commented, thinking of my sister, who thinks everything that I write relates to her, so must be about her. She escaped before we could get the wraparound jacket on her and throw her in a bouncy room :)

See you are full of the milk of human kindness for your sis. Sounds like she can run faster than you Lorry. Too much cake? :))

[Lorry]

Exactly. And heres me just got rid of last winters insulation too. Still, I guess I can play santa this year without the padding :)

i like this poem slightly satirrical sarcastic but in a nice way i love it i have a very open minded view on the world and for eg a girl at work always made us laugh she would say good evening to us all every morning at work made us laugh then in the afternoon would say good morning etc etc opposites make people laugh
it worked in this case loved your poem
