Sorry this isn't a real post -- I haven't been in a real blogging mood lately. I'll post later about the first Society Of Literacy And Bananas! Association meeting.
I wrote this poem a while ago, while I was going through one of my random bouts of depression. It doesn't really make sense, but does any poetry?
The Apprentice
This is just another test
I guess?
Another of those things you say
will make things better in the end.
Is that all I am—
a test?
Or worse—
Just one to take it?
Filling in answers,
Learning day by day,
So what?
So you can take the credit?
I’m not going to train
If it’s a waste of my time.
I’m not going to learn
If this is the test
For which I’m
Studying.
I’m not just a test-taker
I’m a life-changer,
And I want a chance
To do something more
Than take tests.

P.S. No, the picture doesn't have to do with anything, I just thought it was awesome. And, no, I did not forget the pineapple.

wow. At first i had to laugh at the photo. HAHAHAHAHA. Next i have to laugh at the total randomness and awesomeness at which Kat!e larson is! because she is just such an amazing person! HAHAHAHA. then i have to ooh and aah at the amazing writing skills she has, especially at her amazing poem. Then i have to nod and go "oh yeah" because she remembered the pine apple. then i have to say i youtubed an episode of "Doctor Who" and i think i got to the right thing. and i watched an episode called "the curse of the fatal death" it was broken in to 2 parts. It was really funny, until the end. then it just got weird. He turned into a woman when i came back. But the rest was really funny.
I have to agree with K'neth -- the picture was hilariously random (only to be expected from our Kat!e -- but, wait, is expecting randomness the same as expecting the unexpected? Because expecting the unexpected makes the unexpected the expected, doesn't it...?). Anyways, loved your poem as well. And the pineapple was all very good, but where are the bananas? (Besides the one that monkey keeps throwing at my mouse).
Oh, K'neth, the episode of Doctor Who you watched is one of the old ones. They are brilliant, but rather stupid, and the new ones are much better. However, you can't watch the new ones on YouTube because of copyright. Do you by chance have Netflix? That's how I watch them. Glad you looked them up, though -- the old ones are worth watching.
That was NOT a real episode of Doctor Who!!! Obviously Randy didn't watch it, or he wouldn't have said that. What you watched was a poor spoof on Doctor Who (that admitedly made me laugh really hard....)
Thanks, you guys, about the poem ☺ We'll have to get the old group together, K'Neth, the watch the REAL Doctor Who!
But, hey, Hugh Grant did play The Doctor ♥ He's the seccond-hottest Doctor I've seen (the first, of course, being David Tennant).
Don't call me "Randy".
