My contribution to the culture on this blog. I felt bad about bashing the poetry in previous posts. I wish I could claim this as my own, but it was written by Jack Prelutsky.
ReplyDeleteI made a noise this morning
That I didn't mean to make.
It truly was an accident,
An error, a mistake.
I don't know how it happened,
But it suddenly was there,
Filled with great reverberations
That resounded in the air.
It made a strong impression
On the people in the room.
A lot of them reacted
Like they'd heard a sonic boom.
They looked at one another
As if asking, "Was it you?"
They were laughing, they were pointing-
I behaved the same way too.
I couldn't keep from joking
With the other girls and boys,
And never once admitted
It was I who made that noise.
Though I'm sorry that I made it,
From the bottom of my heart,
In a way, my brief eruption
Was a little work of art.
