I deserve a poem about me. Write me a poem, and I shall bestow honor on your house. And your windows, too, if I really like it.

Ode to T_Smith

I am not at all sure
If the "T" in T_Smith
Stands for Thomas or Teacup
or Tractor or Tiff

It could stand for Terrible
But that shan't I pick
'Cause I could get skewered
on the end of a stick.

It could stand for Tipsy
Or Toffee or Toe
Or Tinkerbell, Terrance,
or Tetley, although...

Tights is something
It's been in the past
But that's not a tale
I shall tell very fast.

Although I don't know
What that letter could be
It could just be nothing
It could just be "T".

So... will you bless my room? (I don't have a house). While you're at it my windows could do with enlarging.

[Wink]

Nathan is the man
He's part of our clan

He looks good in a tux
He really likes trucks

Well, I'm not sure on that last bit
But it rhymed so I used it.

But let's assume that I knew
That it really is true

I'm basing it cuz some time back
He married this gal we call "Mack"

Which, I supposed we're all lucky
that if her name MUST sound trucky
It wasn't just something like Peterbilt

...
<or Volvo>

you have a worm in your nose.

T, I don't know you.
You seem a decent fellow.
I'd hate to kill you.

And this is not just
Because your wife has swords,
And can use them well.

"you have a worm in your nose"

Beautiful. This prose has everything a poem needs.

Megan, I love haiku's. Those are going on my cubicle wall. [Smile]

There once was a T_Smith at work
Who needed a break from the jerk
who worked down the hall
T_Smith wished he would fall
To amuse him while he did smirk.

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on November 04, 2005 09:30 PM:

I would never, ever openly wish people would fall down.

Who's Nathan Novak?
Goes by T Smith too often
and wears orange tights

Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on November 04, 2005 10:36 PM:

T Smith, T Smith, What a guy
This I say, don't ask me why
For my windows he shall bless
He does windows. Mine's a mess.

T Smith, T Smith, What? A guy?
This I ask, don't ask me why
Just to see the finger fly
Of his wife, her wife? oh my.

On Nathan When His Eyes Are Not Awake

And now I waken you from sweet repose,
Your deep blue eyes are framed with morning sand.
You say, “A sleeping bag instead of clothes.”
Alas, my dear, my ring is no decoder band.

“Then please, my love, some lemonade,”
You say, and up you sit, mouth open wide,
And out you breathe, your breath a wicked blade.
“Alas, my dear, of lemon drink I have but none, by this I do abide.

He scratches at his chest and then I say in jest,
“You have a worm inside your nose.”
The expectation is a glare; instead you checked.
And as I laugh, you strike a stricken pose.

I tilt your brow, fall silent and bestow a kiss.
You are my love, and teasing more would be amiss.

Now thats one that needs to be framed.
