[bodytext] => Joseph was twenty years old But was a very lazy man Who never did any work But always slept under the fan One day strolling on the beach He found a funny looking pot Though as ghastly as it looked He would give, selling it, a shot He went to four black markets And showed it to second-hand sellers ‘Nothing this ugly could be sold’ They told him like fortune-tellers Empty stomach he went to his hut Thinking of cleaning the ugly pot He poured some water on it And kept it on a stove until it was hot A flash of green light swooshed ‘Ouch!’ howled an unknown voice A male Genie shot-up in the air Whining about the hut being full of mice ‘You have three wishes, Master’ The Genie with the funny beard said ‘You can ask anything you want Apart from wanting somebody dead’ To happy to think, Joseph said ‘I want to be the richest man ever Want only beautiful women around me And want to stay alive forever’ ‘Your wish is my command!’ Genie said with a mischievous smile He was going to laugh at this for centuries On the wish he would fulfill in a while A flash of green light swooshed And on his butt did Joseph fall Twenty beautiful women around him For a second, he was having a ball This place was the planet Yin Only beautiful women lived here He was going to live a great life Without any hesitance or fear Their Queen came forward and said ‘I would like to give you a choice Give us diamonds or be our slave’ ‘Alright’ he said in a romantic voice He searched for his promised wealth Looked everywhere but found none ‘Holy Hell! The Genie duped me’ Joseph said in a heart-rending tone The Genie laughed floating above ‘No master!’ thunderously he said ‘I gave what you asked for, master Not ever will you, by God, be dead!’ The Genie tossed him a bronze coin ‘You are the richest man now By far the only man on this planet So stop complaining and take a bow’ ‘And what about these women? Didn’t you mention them in your wish? So now what Lazy man? The turkey’s too big for your dish?’ ‘So I’ll get going now, master I’m on a vacation for life You got what you asked for Now I have to attend my kids and wife’ Joseph lived forever and ever Serving women and being their slave With only a single coin in his bag He could do nothing but behave - Tejas Thakker [comments] => 1 [counter] => 176 [topic] => 7 [informant] => tejas9999 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => HumorPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
