POEM: Immortality?
This was written for the CPC Wonderful Wednesday poetry challenge.
Host Bettie’s theme is National Hat Day.
IMMORTALITY?
A sort of poem, written in a new format, the Twaddle,
silly themes written in twelve lines in descending number of syllables from twelve to one,
in ABAB rhyme, with a refrain in between the first, second and third stanzas.
A curious facet of life on this planet
is questioning what life itself is about.
Can life go on forever? Well, can it?
Do we know, or is there room for doubt?
Why not ask the cat in the hat?
The cat in the hat knows a lot about that,
but he don’t know squat about that.
boom boom
What is it he knows about?
The refrain is unclear.
Perhaps you should shout
so all can hear.
The cat in the hat knows a lot about that,
but he don’t know squat about that.
boom boom
I get it.
You don’t
know.
