i found a poem from honors british literature in my old binder! during october or november last year, we had to write a poem. it had to somehow resemble chaucer's in canterbury tales--resemblance to an animal, irony, blahblahblah.
i did mine on a pirate!
here goes the shitfest:
There once was a pirate who gave, not stole,
And upon his face sat a round black mole.
His ship and he sailed the world's seven seas
As he pranced around on his wobbly knees.
Dreadlocks and beads adorned his scraggly hair,
A hat and bandana so it won't be bare.
The safety of a sword right on his side
Others couldn't kill him, even if they tried.
Never hurt a man, unless for defense,
As he believed protection as common sense.
His nose resembled a raven's beak
While his fiercesome vessel was dark and sleek.
His mates called his attitude a-ringing
As he spent hours on the crow's nest singing.
His brown swashbuckle boots wet and dirty,
The whores at Tortuga called him flirty.
He utilized his telescope day and night,
And saw a man tumble from such great height.
Kicking off his boots, tearing off his coat,
He jumped in the ocean, his mates would note.
After the man he swam, deeper in the blue.
The king, he couldn't believe it was true.
The king on his back, his hands on his neck,
Jumped out of the water, the king on deck.
His Majesty woke up, demanding rum.
The king, not the pirate, was the old bum.
hahhahahahahaha. grammar is horribly off, but whatever; it's poetry~.
i just finished watching the last four episodes of friends on TBS and i'm a weeping mess. i mean, i've already seen the series finale before (although rarely, because i knew i would cry), but perhaps it was because it was the last few episodes put together--the whole buildup. this is incredibly stupid, mostly because the show's fiction and it already ended years ago, but idkkk. that apartment being empty (srsly if i were rachel, i'd drag ross into that apartment and live there) and stupid joey living on his own made me go ); AND THEN it shows them all going to central perk for the last time (even though they would probably continue going there, and i can't believe i'm thinking about this kind of stuff because this is FICTIONNN), and then the empty apartment. usually before the end credits, it shows something, but it was just black this time. IDK WHAT IS WRONG WIHT ME.
and i think there's something wrong with my hormones.
yesterday i was a complete grumpy bitch and now i'm crazy emotional. first friends, and now i'm listening to "higher and higher" and want to bawl my eyes out. wtf is this shit! hahaha
