An Ode to an Ass

Contributed by Rakerman1999 on Tuesday, 10th May 2005 @ 08:35:55 PM in AEST
Topic: sarcasticpoetry



What's the view like from up there?
In your castle in the air
In your fortress in the sky
Tell me just what greets your eye
Can you see the tears you've wrought?
Find each dream that died for naught?
At your cold, merciless hand
What's your take from where you stand?

What's it like to be so great?
All we mortals to berate
We dare not to see your face
Such embodiment of grace
Surely it would cause our death
Still the heart and stop the breath
Of those fools who choose to be
Simple humans just like me.



L. Carling c2005

An ass is an ass, he has no class, but you will never prove to him he is an ass. But when the universe turns and he finally learns, it will be his ass that burns.

I love this!

Peace,
Dove

Damn, Larry.... I wish I could do something productive (like this) with aggrevation/anger. This is great... fabulously human --- which, of course, is intended as a compliment.

Well done!

funny ... you know how I always think everything is about me lol ? when I saw the title I almost died .. I fled one site and ran to another and someone caught me and said I had a big ass ... rotflmao .. so I thought maybe you were doing an ode to it .. one may always hope .. I'd love an ode to my ass! especially by the rakerman .. whohoo! lol! But they saw the wrong picture .. my ass isn't big .. but I am an ass.. anyway; don't know what this is about .. but it's good.
