The monk who sold his ferrari
Went on a jungle safari
To reach for a new lease of life
and escape from the chasing knife
Chose a moonless dark night starry
The monk who sold his ferrari
To try and reach beyond the moon
and realize the truth just as soon
He was just tired of the fast cars
wanted no more corporate wars
The monk who sold his ferrari
for the wasted life was sorry
If he had lived from inside out
He would not have believed his doubts
And left behind his love laurie
The monk who sold his ferrari
Author notes
Bits of philosophy!!!!!bits of tongue-in-cheekiness,Bits of wisdom!!!!!!!and lots of nonsense......(with due apologies to Robin.S.Sharma for stealing the title of his wonderful book)
Expect more nonsense as I try to wriggle out of the paralyzing grips of the dreaded block.....

I have read the book ,'The monk who sold his ferrari'-I think you have with great brilliance and intelligence ,successfully put the gist of the book in a humourous poem- I personally feel thats highy commendable-

Enchanting!!!
Very enjoyable and entertaining. Me, humour is far far away from me. The few times I tried to write a humourous poem, even I could not laugh.
It si surprising that you should have writer's block. I woudl think you coudl write every day and every night and then some. Know what I mean, you get all the inspiration you need, may be you just don't wanna sit and write

Excellent
To borrow your words of paralyzing grips of block I am hoping to this comment now jot. This is a fun poem that seems to speak of how often what we chase can end up chasing us like a safari in a ferrari. Until we grab onto a passing limb on a passing whim to start anew again. Amen
IF this doesn't make sense...please forgive for you see I am in the grips of writer's block and I'm hoping your poem has the key to unlock.

Well done
This is delightful. I love the quatern form, and you have found some lovely rhymes for "ferrari"!
This is good philosophy too, it's always nice to learn something in an amusing way.
