The Oarful Poem


There once was a rope

Carried by a poetic dope

A rather generous giver

Who travelled o'er a river

A friend, who along did string

Alas had no bell to ring

His name was Ray

Who arose early each day

As campaknology was his trade

Although he ne'er made the grade

And with that, this poem's a phew

So for those who have read it, i say a simple thank you

This poem links to the 'Them Long Words' blog offering of the previous day btw...

I simply initially took the 'words' ('Ray', 'rope', 'string', 'ring', 'bell', and 'campaknowlogist') from such a blog to see if i could construct a poem from them - in a similar way, perhaps, that the main body of 'The Kesaputta Poem' was constructed from the Kesaputta sutta...

Tis strange what ideas simply come to mind sometimes...
