For Emily

Poem By: Urja
Poetry


This is to provide Emily with some humor while working on her dissertation. Humor is not really my genre, so do pardon the silly sounding stuff. I wish I had the versatility of Jak to have fun with different styles. View table of contents...

Get that darn disser’tion done,
Get that darn disser’tion done, O Emily!
We will always urge you on – us from booksie family
 
It’s a pest and pain in neck,
But transient surely, what the heck -
            Just a few more days of toil,
            Burn a few more midnights’ oil;
I can see you bent with care,
Pressure sores on a*** & chair;
            Get some caffeine in your blood,
            Of references unleash the flood;
Use some words, there’s nothing much
Just some proofs and drafts and such;
            If tired, get a good workout,
            Don’t be, don’t be lazy lout;
Straighten up your back, if slumping,
Get some adrenaline pumping;
            Get your focus sharp and zooming,
            There is that deadline yet looming
Do it now, and do it fast,
Do you really want it to last?
            Get it done, use all the measures,
We want more of ‘Deadly pleasures’

OMG! You are hilarious! That totally cracked me up! THank you, thank you! I don't know what to say, that was just awesome. I especially loved the line about my butt being in the chair because it is soooo true. I have these little stretching exercises that I do. The last line was the best though. So that's your real motivation, hmmm? Bwahahaha.

Thanks. I enjoyed writing it too.

Ha! I know she's relieved to be finished and you probably gave her that last little push to finish up! Nice job.

And she is Dr. Emily now! Thanks for the read and the appreciation.

Hello,
Hey Urja this was fun and quirky. Something refreshing and upbeat. I can't really be too critical on it because its for your friend. But i will say this, give it one more read, many lines are missing essential articles, you need to work on the grammar.

You are bang on, Azmat. Unfortunately, funny poems are not my forte, so I just had to do whatever I could. I so admire people who are able to write fast-moving, humorous poems without needing to delete an article here or there. Maybe I should actually try my hand at some of these and see if I am able to improve. Thank you for your comment - as always, it is very helpful.

witty and obviously hit home where it was meant to . made me chuckle too .
not an easy task . i'm a right miserable old git .
