South African Beached Whale

Oh great South African beached whale
Why do thee cry?
You think you’re beached now
But you don’t have to die
Tomorrow might be a higher tide
Why not for now to relax and lie
Oh great beached whale
Here comes a crazy Thai
Welcome Thai man what makes your drive?
A crazy grin was his reply
Have you met my friend the South African beached whale?
He says he lost his tie
My tie I let him borrow
When he pointed a gun at me oh my
Oh great South African beached whale
Why did thee die?

This reminds me of the time I wrote a poem for English class called "The Box." I thought it was a really profound metaphor for the human condition, but when I showed my dad, he was like "WTF. This is not good and really weird, Mariam."

That was why I stopped expressing my feelings in poem form.

wait a minute Mariam, are you trying to say my poem is wierd?

Ashot, I am completely speechless...seriously, this poem, I have my opinions about it, and I don't feel comfortable expressing them on such a popular forum...please, we need to have a one-to-one discussion tomorrow in class.

Wow, I am in shock as I speak to you...we just got a hit from Botosani, ROMANIA!!!!!!

AHAHAHAHA!!!! How much I love the internet...on a side note did you know...

...that "Large communities of Jewish and Armenian traders were present in this city starting with the 17th century."

I knew the two of us had something in common...my grandfather is from Romania, perhaps he knew your grandfather?

VERY NICE!!!!

Mariam, no comment.

New Rule: There must be a picture associated with each new post. I made it and Ashot says this rule will be enforced. Remember, a picture speaks of a thousand words...

Well, I was reading about it - The Namesake that is, it is a movie about some Indian guy who immigrates, and explores his culutural identity while coming to terms with his immigrant past, meanwhile, falling in love with two women. I just hope there are subtitles.
