it's just the way it is

Missing image

..

A kipper with a wooden eye
Is always seen as being sly
No one knows the reason why
Its just the way it is

A Pig without a curly tail
never  should be put on sale
As everyone ends up in jail
It’s just the way it is

If you should see a porcupine
who has no points upon its spine
Chances are that it's a swine
It’s just the way it is

Worms who stuff their nose in books
are known because they lack the looks
Invariably turn into crooks
It’s just the way it is

When so called poets usually write
what to the intellect is shite
They only do it to incite
It’s just the way it is

So here we are at last my friend
It’s my guess that you’ll pretend
You did not read it to the end
It’s just the way it is

    I have to admit this got a good chuckle out of me and the pic was hilarious. I'm sure glad I never really considered myself a poet. Just someone who dables a little.Great words usage and loved the fast pace of the flow. The rhyme was excellent as well. Great job on this piece.

      Please do not try to make anything of it It's just The Pen acting silly. Sometimes i just write without thinking about what it is to be about, I just like playing with words and ideas looking for a melody, the words are unimportant

    Ah, but I did

    and found expounded toungue in cheek
    where Pen profoundly, soundly speaks.

    I'm caught in his candor, he makes it his biz
    to call what he sees, just the way that it is.

    You can't con a con, and soothsayers, forsooth,
    Nor Pen when he's on a roll for the truth,


    AND THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS!

    The pen writes and I read it to the end. It's just the way it is and should be no other way. I don't know what a kipper with a wooden eye would look like but I think the pig is a little on the scary side with those teeth lol. I wonder if he is one of the three little piggies who would exact revenge on the big bad wolf.

    Mr. Pen

    I’ve read the poem Pen did write
    A wee bit strange but think alright
    The last few lines a bit contrite
    It’s just the way it was

    I liked the whole idea, especially the beginning, and end. I thought some bits in the middle got very slightly wonky -- but that's the way it is.

    Don't ya know!

    When Legend writes the poems we read
    There seems to be a special need
    To entertain and not mislead
    That’s just the way it is!

    He blames his pen, the talent scout
    For thoughts that seem to trickle out
    And if he didn’t we’d be without
    That’s just the way it is!

    Love the pic & verse! joy

    Mate, You never cease to amaze me with your writes and this one is no different. First, I love the picture you used and secondly, the whole piece just had one terrific feel to it. I love all the comments by the people below who really joined in with the awesome flow. You are super! I don't know what else to say but just keep these little rippers coming and keep us rolling in the aisle.

    We so called poets usually write
    far into the dead of night
    So causing us to lose our sight
    It's just the way it is

    Our poems we tend to forfend
    we hope you'll never villipend
    We'll write until the bitter end
    It's just the way it is

    And so I climb the stairs to bed
    my dogs have been watered and fed
    so now I'll rest my weary head
    It's just the way it is

    I'm still larfing as I turn my pooter orf

    The pen snokered me again.

    Don't they hang pen in some place in this world- surely not their owner. For it is not their falt the pen get's loose and make the public look slip a read - they end up with a snicker to keep the grin from wanting to win...mac got me again taking a peek! Was that not the plan- Well that is the way it was in the end.

    You know Dear Pen you always say
    that i should never write your way
    it's never black or white, it's grey
    it's just the way it is.

    You know that I read to the end
    and I would never dare pretend
    to tell a lie to you, my friend
    it's just the way it is.

    So here I am and as I write
    upon this page in black and white
    for now to you I'll say "Good Night"
    it's just the way it is.

    Thanks for the smile

      Dearest Sue I'm pleased to see
      that you've caught the bug from me
      of writing rubbish poetry
      It's just the way it is

      I alway knew it all along
      some are weak,and others strong
      with you i didn't get it wrong
      It's just the way it is

      Now your doomed to spend your time
      in writing some demented rhyme
      some may think that its a crime
      It's just the way it is
