Poetic Justice

"these words are my own
.....................
- Natasha Bedingfield

I am Twenty Five
Thank God i'm alive
Situations not taking a nosedive
Like bees angered out of their hives

I am two decades and a dec*
No more on life's observation deck
Anticipation leaves me a nervous wreck
Now I'm worried what havoc i might wreak

I am a quarter of a century
I think I deserve loads of jewelry
From life's self appointed jury
Hey, i deserve not to live in penury

I am a silver jubilarian
Makes me sound like an unsexy librarian
More like an overly proud aryan
Somebody finish this line before i misyarn!

okay guys, i wrote this last week with some malaria still in my brain, so have mercy when telling me how much it sucks...lol

I'm personally not a big fan of poems except they rhyme and/or are romantic, so am no Keats or Shakespeare, but i made use my poetic license...lol.


* dec- half of a decade

On behalf of the Federation of United Caretakers of Knowledge commonly known as librarians, I urge you to cease and desist from perpetuating this stereotype of librarians.

BUMIGHT, U are first darling! i'm not a fan too, but since u put up that poem about not growing up, i decided to put up one about growing up...lol

NAPS, i truly madly deeply apologise! henceforth, i'll refer to librarians as sexy.

PORTER, u are very welcome! malaria is history, thank God. will be expecting u...

FREAK, hey! i'm as much a poet as u are a superhero!

STANDTALL, it is. thanx for spring my feelings jare.

OZAVESHE, u are such a sweetie! at least u saw my originality thru all the jargon. When i become a great poet, i'll be sure to mention u as the first person who encouraged me...lmao
