I made a poem...A stupid one...

Hey, I made a poem...


The Dumpy Old Cabin
By Louis Dimick


A Dumpy old Cabin sat alone among the trees
All dry and compact at 20 degrees
A roof made of fir and a door made of oak
Could withstand nigh anything, except for the poke
Of an aircraft missile falling from the sky.
Inside sat a man, of beastly proportion
His face a wrinkled mixture of fleshy contortion
His beard a tangled mess of ratty hair and worms.
Across the table from the man sat his wife
A beastlier sight you’ve never seen in your life
A witch of a woman, a fiend of a fiend
She may have lived longer, if he hadn’t intervened
But stand the man did
His anger unmatched
“Wife!” he bellowed,
“Make my food if you want your brain still attached!”
Now the woman could stand
minor insults and phrases
But when the foul man said that,
she replied:
“What the blazes???”
“I scrub all the floors! I mend all your socks!”
“Why don’t YOU do some work, you big fat hairy OX!”
The old man was stunned
This he could not ignore
The wife had not thrown such a tantrum before
The man’s anger grew about a hundred times greater
And he said: “Shut up, woman, and I’ll deal with you later.”
But the woman could not let him have the last word
She was stubborn that way, and she called out: “You turd!”
The old man scowled fiercely and scratched his big ear
He’d had it with this lady
Had it way up to here
He stretched out his arm and he grabbed his big axe
At the same time his wife stooped and scooped up some tacks
With a roar they both fought
Fought to end all this rot
And to see which old person was greater.
Well, they battled for hours
Without any showers
And the cabin they fought in was shaking.
It seemed, my good friends, that we all were decieved
For the cabin’s “strong” structure, of oak and of fir
Was not quite as tough as was at first believed.
See, the crashing and bashing of the people attacking
Was too much for the cabin, it just started cracking.
The timbers all quivered and trembled and shook
Then the old man gave a sneeze
Well, that’s all it took.
The Cabin just splintered
It fell with a crash
It seems the old hags’ deeds turned out to be rash
Both people were crushed, pinned down by the rubble
So be friends with your spouse (You don’t want this trouble...)
Well, this ends the poem of the Dumpy Old Cabin
Not quite what you were expecting?
Um......
Eh.......
I can’t think of anything that rhymes with cabin.   :(

  1. Hi, it's Bridget/Singwhatyoucan'tsay from the CMR!

    "Be friends with your husband, so that you don't stab him." Would that work?

    I'm not sure how much sense it makes, but it rhymes.
